8.44 • Combining Conservation Laws. A 15.0 kg block is attached to a very light horizontal spring of force constant 500.0 N/m and is rest- ing on a frictionless horizontal table (Fig. E8.44). Suddenly it is struck by a 3.00 kg stone traveling horizontally at 8.00 m/s to the right, where- upon the stone rebounds at 2.00 m/s horizontally to the left. Find the maximum distance that the block will compress the spring after the collision.
