Cart 1 of mass m = 0.50kg fastened to a spring of spring constant k = 14N/m is pushed 15 mm in from its equilibrium position and held in place by a ratchet (Fig. 2). An identical cart 2 is launched at a speed of 0.10m/s toward cart 1. The carts collide elastically releasing the ratchet and setting cart 1 in motion. After the collision, cart 2 is immediately removed from the track. a What is the maximum compression of the spring? b How many seconds elapse between the instant the carts collide and the instant the spring reaches maximum compression?
