Problem $15\mathrm{.}61-$ Enhanced $-$ with Hints and Feedback

$6$ of $6$

Review

The $15-kg$ block A has a velocity $v=14\frac{m}{s}$ when it is $s=6m$ from the $10-kg$ block $B$ as shown in$.$ The unstretched spring has a stiffness $k=1600\frac{N}{m}.$ Take $e=0\mathrm{.}6,$ and for block $A,{}_k=0\mathrm{.}3.$ Assume block $B$ is smooth.

Part A

Determine the maximum compression of the spring after the collision.

Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units.
