A wheeled cart with a mass of 0.50 kg is rolling along a horizontal track at a constant velocity of 2.0 m/s when it experiences an elastic collision with a second identical cart that is initially at rest, and attached to a spring with a spring constant of 4.0 N/m. After the collision, the second cart moves to the right. What is the maximum compression of the spring?
