A block of mass 76 kg slides along a fric-tionless table with a speed of 50 m/s. Directlyin front of it, and moving in the same direc-tion with a speed of 25 m/s, is a block of mass41 kg. A massless spring with spring constant1474 N/m is attached to the second block.During the collision, the spring is com-pressed by a maximum amount x. Whatis this maximum compression? Hint: work inan inertial frame in which p1 + p2 = 0 .Answer in units of m.The blocks will eventually separate again.What is the final velocity of the 76 kg block?Answer in units of m/s.
