Kinetic Energy to Oscillation
In this problem you will be shooting a hovercraft onto a spring. Start by finding the kinetic energy of the craft before the collision and then predict the amplitude of oscillation and the frequency of oscillation after the collisionClick begin to work on the problem

The hovercraft will be moving to the left as shown below and it will hit and stick to the light spring that is attached to the wall. There will be negligible mechanical energy lost during the collisionDetermine the energy of the system and then the amplitude and frequency of the oscillation of the hovercraft after the collision
