Amass is pressed against (but is not attached to) an ideal horizontal spring on a frictionless horizontal surface. after being released from rest, the mass acquires a maximum speed v and a maximum kinetic energy k. if instead the mass initially compresses the spring twice as far:

You are driving to the grocery store at 20 m/s. you are 110m from an intersection when the traffic light turns red. assume that your reaction time is 0.50s and that your car brakes with constant acceleration. how far are you from the intersection when you begin to apply the brakes? what acceleration will bring you to rest right at the intersection? how long does it take you to stop after the light changes? the known values: vi=20m/s xi=110m t=.50s vf=0m/s xf=0m a=?
