Physics

A block of mass m1 = 1.60 kg initially moving to the right witha speed of 4.00 m / s on a track
horizontal without friction and collides with a spring attached toa second block of mass m2 = 2.10 kg that initially
moves to the left with a speed of 2.50 m / s. The spring constantis 600 N / m.
a) Find the speeds of the two blocks after the collision.
