A 1.5-kg box that is sliding on a frictionless surface with a speed of 12 m/s approaches a horizontal spring. The spring has a spring constant of 2000 N/m, (a) How far will the spring be compressed in stopping the box?(b) How far will the spring be compressed when the box,s speed is reduced to half of its initial speed?
