A 15.0 kg block (#2) is attached to a very horizontal light spring with a spring constant of 500 N/m and is resting on a frictionless horizontal table. It is struck by a 3.00 kg block (#1) traveling horizontally at 8.00 m/s. After the collision, block #1 rebounds with a speed of 2.0 m/s in the opposite direction. What is the maximum distance the spring compresses?

Block A rests on a horizontal tabletop. A light horizontal rope is attached to it and passes over a pulley, and block B is suspended from the free end of the rope. The light rope that connects the two blocks does not slip over the surface of the pulley (radius 0.080 m) because the pulley rotates on a frictionless axle. The horizontal surface on which block A (mass 3.30 kg) moves is frictionless. The system is released from rest, and...
