A2.50 kg flower pot is pushed out a window this is at a height of 12.0m onto a spring with a spring constant of 800.n/m. how much does the spring compress if the ball comes to a stop.

0.86 m

Explanation:

We can solve the problem by using the law of conservation of energy.

The initial mechanical energy of the flower pot is just gravitational potential energy, given by:

where

m = 2.50 kg is the mass of the pot

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

h = 12.0 m is the height

When the pot hits and compresses the spring coming to a stop, all this energy is converted into elastic potential energy of the spring:

where

k = 800 N/m is the spring constant

x is the compression of the spring

Due to the conservation of energy,

So we can write
