A 0.260-kg block along a horizontal track has a speed of 1.10 m/s immediately before colliding with a light spring of force constant 4.45 N/m located at the end of the track.
(a) What is the spring's maximum compression if the track is
frictionless?
(b) If the track is not frictionless, would the spring's
maximum compression be greater than, less than, or equal to the
value obtained in part (a)?
