Physics

Boxes A 7.00 kg and B 15.00 kg , to the right of Amove on a frictionless, horizontal surface. Box B is traveling tothe left at 0.500 m/s, and box A is traveling to the right at 2.00m/s initially. The boxes are attached with ideal spring bumpers.Eventually, they have head-on collision. consider that all motionbefore and after it is along a horizontal axis. Assume that +x isthe direction of the initial motion of A.
a) Find the maximum energy stored in the spring bumpers.
b) Calculate the velocity of block A when the energy stored in thespring bumpers ismaximum.
c) Calculate the velocity of block B when the energy stored in thespring bumpers is maximum.
d)Calculate the velocity of block A after the blocks have movedapart.
e) Calculate the velocity of block B after the blocks have movedapart.
