Question: Two springs with a spring constant k 1 = 1 0 . 0 N / m and k 2 = 2 0 . 0 N

Two springs with a spring constant k1=10.0N/m and k2=20.0 N/m face each other across a frictionless surface. A puck of mass 500g moves with a speed of 1.4 m/s towards spring 1. After compressing spring 1 and being released, the puck moves towards spring 2, eventually colliding with it and compressing it. Find the maximum distance delta x2 that spring 2 is compressed from its rest length
