Question

Part (a) refers to the figure below. Block 1 has a mass m₁ = 0.2 kg and is travelling to the right with an initial speed v₁,i = 2 m/sec. Block 2 is initially at rest, it has a mass m₂ = 0.3 kg, and it is attached to a spring with a spring constant k = 8 N/m. Block 1 then collides with Block 2 and the two blocks stick together after the collision. After the collision, both blocks move to the right and both blocks come to rest after they compress the spring by a distance x. What is  x ?
