15 points A 0 5 kg mass resting on a smooth tabletop 1 m high is pushed into a spring with spring constant 200 N m as shown in the figure With the spring compressed 0 5 m the mass is released and after it loses ntact with the spring it collides with a stationary 2 kg mass A graph of the force exerted on the 2 kg mass during the collision is shown below F N 480 1 m 2 5 12 5 15 10 a Determine the speed of the 0 5 kg mass after it has left the spring but before it has hit the 2 kg mass b Determine the speed of the 2 kg mass after the collision e Determine the energy lost in the collision d Determine the distance between the impact points of each object when they finally strike
