A 330.0 g block is dropped onto a vertical spring with a spring constant k = 234.0 N/m. The block becomes attached to the spring, and the spring compresses 0.26 m before momentarily stopping.
A) While the spring is being compressed, what what is the change in the objects gravitational potential energy?
B) What is the change in the objects spring potential energy?
C) What was the speed of the block just before it hit the spring?
