Two blocks, A and B are initially held together by a string as shown in the figure; the mass of block A is of kg and the mass of block B is kg The massless spring inbetween the two blocks has a spring constant of mathrmkmathrm~Nmathrmm and is initially compressed by cm The two blocks are initially moving together with a speed of mathrm~mmathrms When the string is cut ie when the blocks are released the spring expands and pushes the two blocks apart. What is the speed in mathrmmmathrms of the block A You may assume that the surface is horizontal and frictionless. HINT: As shown in the figure, mathrmvmathrmA and v must be in opposite directions ie have opposite sign
