Question
A 1.60-kg block, initially moving to the right with a velocity of +4 m/s on a frictionless horizontal track, collides with a massless spring attached to a second block with mass 2.10 kg moving to the left with a velocity of -2.5 m/s. The spring has a spring constant of 600 N/m. (a) Determine the velocity of Block 2 at the instant when Block 1 is moving to the right with a velocity of +3 m/s. (b) Find the maximum compression of the spring.
