Question: A 0.430-kg block is attached to a horizontal spring that is at its equilibrium lenght , and whose force constant is 20.0N/m. The block rests on a frictionless surface. A 0.0500-kg wad of putty is thrown horizontally at the block, hitting it with a speed of 2.30m/s and sticking. How far does the putty-block system compress the spring?
