A block sliding along a frictionless, horizontal surface with a speed of 0.5 m/s collides with a spring attached to a wall. The spring is compressed 11.0 cm before the block is stopped. If the same block were to collide with the spring again while having a speed of 3.5 m/s, what would the spring's compression be before stopping the block this time, in centimetres? mud
