A solid block of mass m2 = 1.0 $kg$, at rest on a horizontal frictionless surface, is connected to a relaxed spring (with spring constant k = 260 N/m whose other end is fixed. Another solid block of mass m1 = 2.4 kg and speed v1 = 3.3 m/s collides with the 1.00 kg block. If the blocks stick together, what is their speed immediately after the collision?
What is the maximum compression of the spring?
