A large toy car is pushed horizontally by a spring, and the spring has a spring constant of 135 N/m. What is the mass of the toy car if compressing the spring 0.055 m (before the toy starts moving) causes it to reach a speed of 0.75 m/s? (Note - the height of the toy does not change.) What equation will be best for calculating this value? Your answer: mgh, =글x o mgh, =mv? o kx? = mgh;
