ONLY question 2 b)

so what I would like you to do is read the questions and  read the feedback and fix my answers thats all 

 

here is the question : 

 

Here is the feedback : 

You still did not take into consideration that the combined masses are moving when the spring is compressed. Find speed of combined mass at maximum compression using Momentum equation PTI = PTF and then use Energy Equations to solve for the spring constant.  Ek1 + Ek2 = EkT + EE  Where EE is the elastic energy stored in the spring. Then use EE = 0.5kx2 to solve for k

here is my answer : fix it correctly and give me the final answer : 

1. A ball with a mass of 10.0 g hits a 5.0 kg block of wood tied to a
string, as shown. You may assume that there is no friction from the
string. The ball hits the block in a completely inelastic collision, causing
the block to rise to a maximum height of 8.0 cm. Find the initial
horizontal speed of the ball. You may assume that the string is very
long.

2.A 1.2 kg cart moving at 6.0 m/s [E] collides with a stationary 1.8 kg
cart. The head-on collision is completely elastic and is cushioned by a
spring.
a. Find the velocity of each cart after the collision.
b. The maximum compression of the spring during the collision is 2.0
cm. Find the spring constant.

The head-on collision is completely elastic and is cushioned by a spring. a. Find the velocity of each cart after the collision. b. The maximum compression of the spring during the collision is 2.0 cm. Find the spring constant.
Mass of cart 1 (m₁) = 1.2 kg
Initial velocity of cart 1 (v₁₁) = 6.0 m/s
Mass of cart 2 (m₂) = 1.8 kg
Initial velocity of cart 2 (V₂i) = 0 m/s
Maximum compression of the spring (x) = 2 cm = 0.02 m
The maximum compression of the spring occurs when all the kinetic energy is converted into
potential energy in the spring. The potential energy stored in a spring is given by
P.E. =-=kx²
where k is the spring constant and x is the displacement (compression in this case).
The potential energy stored in the compressed spring is equal to the initial kinetic energy of the
system,
The potential energy of the spring = Initial kinetic energy
