A 2 kg object is pushed with an initial speed of 20 cm/s. The object then collides with a horizontal spring having a spring constant of 50 N/m. The object is in contact with the spring for 0.2 seconds before bouncing back. Determine the maximum compression experienced by the spring during the collision.
