Two blocks both with mass m are on a frictionless surface. One block is traveling with speed v0 towards a massless spring with spring constant k that is connected to the second block. Both the spring and the second block are initially stationary. The point of maximal compression of the spring occurs at the same instant that the velocities of the two blocks are equal. What is the maximum compression of the spring?
