the figure above, a yellow block of mass 7.9 kg is sliding towards a

spring at speed 12.5 m/s atop a frictionless, horizontal surface. When

the block hits the spring, it will compress until the block momentarily

stops. If the spring has a spring constant of k = 3670 N/m, what is the

maximum amount by which the spring compresses? Express your

answer in cm.
