What is the increase in potential energy of the spring

Reference no: EM13514758

A block is dropped onto a spring with a spring constant, k, of 27 n/m. the block has a speed of 2.2 m/s just before it strikes the spring. The spring compresses an amount of 0.21m before the block stops its downward movement.

a. what is the increase in potential energy of the spring?

b. what is the mass of the block?
