Now the astronaut lays Spring A horizontally on a table in the station on the moon. She ties one end of a string to Block X and the other to one end of Spring A. She holds the other end of Spring A motionless in her hand. With her other hand she throws Block X horizontally at a speed of 1.13 m/s. After it pulls the string tight, Block X stretches Spring A until Block X stops. Then it comes back, but the astronaut is only interested in the maximum distance the spring stretched. She records that distance which is 5.08 cm. She later repeated this experiment in the lab in Orlando. Block X moved horizontally at the same speed (1.13 m/s) while attached to a string tied to Spring A. Assume the motion of the block was completely horizontal and all sources of friction were negligible. What was the maximum distance that the spring stretched in Orlando?
