## After Collision 1983B2. A block of mass MM is resting on a horizontal, frictionless table and is attached as shown above to a relaxed spring of spring constant k . A second block of mass 2 M and initial speed vo\mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{o}} collides with and sticks to the first block. Develop expressions for the following quantities in terms of M,k\mathrm{M}, \mathrm{k}, and vo\mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{o}} a. v\quad v, the speed of the blocks immediately after impact b. x, the maximum distance the spring is compressed ![](https://storage.googleapis.com/diraq-contents/question-bank/question-images/30f5043d363e/2025_11_20_dc5dcf85afe139c325e0g-10.jpg)
