A 15.0 kg block is attached to a very light horizontal spring of force constant 375 N/m and is resting on a smooth horizontal table (Figure 1). Suddenly it is struck by a 3.00 kg stone traveling horizontally at 8.00 m/s to the right, whereupon the stone rebounds at 2.00 m/s horizontally to the left. Figure 1 of 1 > 15.0 kg 3.00 kg 8.00 m's Part A Find the maximum distance that the block will compress the spring after the collision. (Hint: Break this problem into two parts - the collision and the behavior after the collision - and apply the appropriate conservation law to each part.) Express your answer in meters.
