Question

A 15.0 kg block is attached to a very light horizontal spring of force constant 425 N/m and is resting on a smooth horizontal table (Figure 1). Suddenly it is struck by a 3.00 kg stone traveling horizontally at 8.00 m/s to the right, whereupon the stone rebounds at 2.00 m/s horizontally to the left.

Find the maximum distance that the block will compress the spring after the collision. (Hint: Break this problem into two parts - the collision and the behavior after the collision - and apply the appropriate conservation law to each part.)
