Help with this conceptual question. Please providestep-by-step solution. Greatly appreciated! A block of mass m and speed v collides witha spring, compressing it a distance x. What is the compression of the spring if themass of the block is halved and its speed is doubled? Express answer in givenquantity x1 Help with this conceptual question.

Express answer in givenquantity x1Explanation / Answer
mv2/2 = k(x)2/2 (m/2)(2v)2/2 = k(x')2/2, somv2 = k(x')2/2 x' = 2 x
