I posed a question to my gr12 physics class today along these lines:
suppose a mass (m) traveling on a frictionless surface at a speed (v) runs into a spring (constant K). How long (time t) will it take to come to a stop (vf = 0)
I'm quite rusty I suppose since I cannot seem to come up with the function that describes the F vs t graph. Finding the distance is a piece of cake (1/2kx2=1/2mv2) but I'm stuck trying to find the time. Can anyone help?
Thanks
