An object moving along a horizontal track collides with and compresses a light spring (which obeys Hooke's Law) located at the end of the track. The spring constant is 51.4 N/m, the mass of the object 0.280 kg and the speed of the object is 1.60 m/s immediately before the collision. (a) Determine the spring's maximum compression (in m) if the track is frictionless. m (b) If the track is not frictionless, will the spring's maximum compression be greater than, less than, or equal to the value obtained in part (a)

7.study the scenario. a small container of water with a low temperature is poured into a large container of water with a higher temperature. which choice correctly explains what happens to the thermal energy of these systems? the smaller container of water has more heat and thermal energy than the larger container. some heat and thermal energy is transferred to the larger container of water. the larger container of water has more heat and thermal energy than the smaller container. some heat and thermal energy is transferred to the smaller container of water. the larger container of water has more thermal energy and some of that energy is transferred to the colder water in a process known as heating. the smaller container of water has more thermal energy than the larger container, and some of that energy is transferred to the warmer water in a process known as heating.
