Not what you're looking for?
I have a problem just like it in my physics book, but the mass is different. In my book it is 600 g and the answer is 0.2 s.
See attached file for full problem description with diagram and units.
A 400 air-track glider collides with a spring at one end of the track. The figure 1 shows the glider's velocity and the force exerted on the glider by the spring. FIGURE 2
A.) How long is the glider in contact with the spring?
