Question

Blocks A (mass 2.00 kg) and B (mass 6.00 kg) move on a frictionless,
horizontal surface. Initially, block B is at rest and block A is
moving toward it at 2.00 m/s. The blocks are equipped with ideal spring
bumpers, . The collision is head-on, so
all motion before and after the collision is along a straight line. (a) Find
the maximum energy stored in the spring bumpers and the velocity of
each block at that time. (b) Find the velocity of each block after they
have moved apart.
