Compute how much is the spring compressed by the wood

Reference no: EM13540415

A block of wood of mass m1 = 1.00 kg slides to the right on a frictionless horizontal table with a speed of 30.00 m/s. It collides with a second piece of wood of mass m2 = 2.00 kg which is stationary at position X. The collision is completely inelastic. After the collision the wood slides across a rough horizontal surface ( ? = 0.30) from B to C for a distance of 10.00 m. After position C, the surface becomes smooth and the wood collides with a spring with spring constant of k = 30.00 N/m.

(a) How much is the spring compressed by the wood? Consider now that the spring pushes the wood back in the opposite direction.

(b) At what locations along the horizontal plane is mass m2 stationary?
