Walker, Halliday & Resnick β Center of Mass and Linear Momentum: Problem 58
58 In Fig. 9-54, block 2 (mass 1.0 kg) is at rest on a frictionless surface and touching the end of an unstretched spring of spring constant 230 N/m. The other end of the spring is fixed to a wall. Block 1 (mass 2.0 kg), traveling at speed \(v_1 = 4.0\text{ m/s}\), collides with block 2, and the two blocks stick together. When the blocks momentarily stop, by what distance is the spring compressed?
