Question

Part (b) 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. The collision between Block 1 and Block 2 is a elastic collision. After the collision, block 2 moves to the right and block 2 comes to rest after it compresses the spring by a distance x. What is x?
