Conservation of Mechanical Energy
Not what you're looking for?
A black of mass m=750g is released from rest and slides down a frictionless track of height h=55.2cm. At the bottom of the track the block slides freely along a horizontal table until it hits a spring attached to a heavy, immovable wall. The spring compressed by 2.64cm at the maximum compression. What is the value of the spring constant k?
