Ablock of mass m = 0.23 kg is set against a spring with a spring constant of k1 = 553 n/m which has been compressed by a distance of 0.1 m. some distance in front of it, along a frictionless surface, is another spring with a spring constant of k2 = 370 n/m. how far d2, in meters, will the second spring compress when the block runs into it?

Explanation:

Using the law of the convervation of energy E:

so:

where is the constant of the spring 1, the compressed of the first spring, is the constant of the second spring and is the compressed of the second spring.

Replacing values, we get:

Solving for :

answer: the metamorphic rocks are formed when they are exposed to high pressure and high temperatures. this happens when one of the earth's plates comes in contact with the other plate by traveling in opposite directions, straight into each other or slipping under one another. the friction that is caused by this activity results in   melting of rocks and when it cools they are known as metamorphic rocks. this process needs a controlled amount of pressure and temperature otherwise it may turn into magma.
