Principle of energy conservation.
Not what you're looking for?
A 2.4 kg block is dropped on to a spring of spring constant 3995 N/m from a height of 5.0 m. When the block is momentarily at rest, the spring has been compressed by 25 cm. Find the speed of the block when the compression of the spring is 15 cm. Use the principle of energy conservation in the analysis and solution.
