Solve the all parts of given question:
Question: A 3.05-kg ball of clay is thrown downward from a height of 2.75 m with a speed of 5.01 m/s onto a spring with k = 1750 N/m. The clay compresses the spring a certain maximum amount before momentarily stopping.
Part A: What is the total work done on the clay during the spring's compression?
Part B: Also, how would one go about solving for that?
I need help to find the total work done on the clay during the spring's compression.
