A spring is laid sideways on an air hockey table. It has a spring constant of 26.0 N/m. If a 2.45 kg air-hockey puck traveling at 1.50 m/s bounces into the spring, how much will the spring
compress before the puck is brought to rest?
(Hint: you will need to calculate how much WORK is done to slow the puck. Consult your notes and remember that work is a change in kinetic energy: KE)
__cm?
