**Physics Problem: Collision of Blocks with Spring Bumpers**

**Problem Description:**
Blocks \( A \) (mass 5.00 kg) and \( B \) (mass 11.00 kg, to the right of \( A \)) are moving on a frictionless, horizontal surface. Initially, block \( B \) is moving to the left at 0.500 m/s and block \( A \) is moving to the right at 2.00 m/s. Both blocks are equipped with ideal spring bumpers. The collision is head-on, meaning all motion before and after is along a straight line. Let \( +x \) be the direction of the initial motion of \( A \).

**Part A:**
- **Objective:** Find the maximum energy stored in the spring bumpers.
- **Instructions:** Express your answer with the appropriate units.
- **Answer Box:** 
  - \( U_\text{spring max} = \) [Value] [Units]

**Part B:**
- **Objective:** Find the velocity of block \( A \) when the energy stored in the spring bumpers is maximum.
- **Instructions:** Express your answer with the appropriate units.
- **Answer Box:**
  - \( v_A = \) [Value] [Units]

**Note:** Ensure that your responses are calculated correctly and include the correct units of measurement.
