Physics

Blocks A (mass 2.00 kg ) and B (mass 12.00 kg , to the right ofA) move on a frictionless, horizontal surface. Initially, block Bis moving to the left at 0.500 m/s and block A is moving to theright at 2.00 m/s. The blocks are equipped with ideal springbumpers. The collision is headon, so all motion before and after itis along a straight line. Let +x be the direction of the initialmotion of A.

Find the maximum energy stored in the spring bumpers.

Find the velocity of block A when the energy stored inthe spring bumpers is maximum.

Find the velocity of block B when the energy stored inthe spring bumpers is maximum.

Find the velocity of block A after the blocks havemoved apart.
