A spatially challenged goldfish swims along the x-axis only. Its initial position is 7.8 m. After swimming back and forth a while, it finds itself at the position 4.4 m. Calculate the fish’s displacement (including its sign).

Aspring is used to stop a 50-kg package which is moving down a 20º incline. the spring has a constant k = 30 kn/m and is held by cables so that it is initially compressed 50 mm. knowing that the velocity of the package is 2 m/s when it is 8 m from the spring and neglecting friction, determine the maximum additional deformation of the spring in bringing the package to rest.
