A block of mass m placed on a frictionless horizontal floor is connected with two identical springs each of force constant k One end of the left spring is connected to a fixed support and one end of the right spring is free Initially the block is at rest the springs are collinear and relaxed If someone begins to pull the free end of the right spring with a constant velocity u away from the wall how far will the block move before it acquires a speed equal to u
