Q. An 8000-kg freight car rolls along rails with negligible friction. The car is brought to rest by a combination of two coiled springs. Both springs are described by Hooke's law and have spring steady with k1 = 1700 N/m and k2 = 3600 N/m. After first spring compresses a distance of 27.3 cm, the second spring acts with the first to increase the force as additional compression occurs as shown in the graph. The car comes to rest 49.5 cm after first contacting the two-spring system. Determine the car's initial speed.
