Imagine that you ski down a slope wearing a Velcro ski vest and then continue skiing on a horizontal surface a bottom of the hill. There you run into a padded, Velcro-covered cart, which is also on skis (see the figure below). A 1280-N/m spring is attached to the other end of the cart and also to a wall. The spring compresses after your 60-kg body hits and sticks to the 20-kg cart. Your speed is 16 m/s just before you hit the cart. (a) What is your maximum speed after joining with the cart? (b) What is the maximum compression of the spring? (c) What is the period of the vibrational motion? (d) What is your maximum acceleration and where does it occur?
