An automobile (m = 1.00  103 kg) is driven into a brick wall in a safety test. The bumper behaves like a spring (k = 5.00  106 N/m), and is observed to compress a distance of 3.16 cm as the car is brought to rest. What was the initial speed of the automobile?

Question 2

A surprising demonstration involves dropping an egg from a third-floor window to land on a foam-rubber pad 2 in (5 cm) thick without breaking. If a 56-gram egg falls 12 m, and the foam pad stops the egg in 6.25 ms, by how much is the pad compressed?
