Homework Statement
A 3 kg ball is dropped from a height of 0.8 m above the top of the spring onto a vertical coiled spring sitting on the floor. The spring constant of the spring is 1200 N/m. Determine the maximum compression of the spring as the ball comes momentarily to rest before rising again. (0.22 m)
Homework Equations
1/2kx^2 (Spring Potential Energy as the area of kx graph)
Epg=mgh (Gravitational Potential Energy)
1/2mv^2 (Sum of energy -> Average kinetic energy of all particles -> velocity)
The Attempt at a Solution
I am not sure where I went wrong.
I meant b=-29.43.
x = 0.04905m
