Physics

A block of mass m1 = 2.20 kg initially moving to the right witha speed of 3.10 m/s on a frictionless, horizontal track collideswith a spring attached to a second block of mass m2 = 4.7 kginitially moving to the left with a speed of 1.5 m/s.The springconstant is 528 N/m. What if m1 is initially moving at 3.6 m/swhile m2 is initially at rest? (a) Find the maximum springcompression in this case. x = -Use the condition for maximumcompression of the spring and momentum and energy methods to findthe maximum compression. (b) What will be the individual velocitiesof the two masses (v1 and v2) after the spring extended fullyagain? (That is, when the two masses separate from each other afterthe collision is complete.) v1 = m/s to the left v2 = m/s to theright
