Boxes A ( 5.00 kg ) and B( 14.00 kg , to the right of A) move on a frictionless, horizontal surface. Box BBis traveling to the left at 0.500 m/s, and box A is traveling to the right at 2.00 m/s initially. The boxes are attached with ideal spring bumpers. Eventually, they have head-on collision. consider that all motion before and after it is along a horizontal axis. Assume that +x is the direction of the initial motion of A.
A-)Find the maximum energy stored in the spring bumpers.
B-)Calculate the velocity of block A when the energy stored in the spring bumpers is maximum.
C-)Calculate the velocity of block B when the energy stored in the spring bumpers is maximum.
D-)Calculate the velocity of block A after the blocks have moved apart.
E-)Calculate the velocity of block B after the blocks have moved apart.
