Question: Blocks A ( mass 1 2 . 0 0 kg ) and B ( mass 3 . 0 0 kg ) are at a distance

Blocks A (mass 12.00 kg) and B (mass 3.00 kg) are at a distance of 2m on a frictionless, inclined surface which makes an angle of 30 with horizontal. Initially, block B is at rest and block A is moving toward it at 10.0 m/s. The blocks are equipped with ideal spring bumpers. The collision is head-on, so all motion before and after the collision is along the incline. the distance at the moment of collision is assumed to be 0.5m
Find the maximum energy stored in the spring bumpers and the velocity of each block at that time.
Find the velocity of each block after they have moved apart.
