Question: Blocks A ( mass 6 . 0 0 kg ) and B ( mass 1 1 . 0 0 kg , to the right of

Blocks A(mass 6.00 kg ) and B(mass 11.00 kg , to the right of A) move on a frictionless, horizontal surface. Initially, block B is moving to the left at 0.500ms and block A is moving to the right at 2.00ms. The blocks are equipped with ideal spring bumpers. The collision is headon, so all motion before and after it is along a straight line. Let +x be the direction of the initial motion of A.
Part A
Find the maximum energy stored in the spring bumpers.
