A block of mass m2 = 8.3 kg, at rest on a horizontal surface that has negligible friction, is connected to a spring which is initially not stretched or compressed. The other end of the spring is fixed to a wall, and the spring constant is k = 260 N/m. Another block of mass m1 = 7.4 kg and speed v1 = 6.2 m/s collides with the 8.3 kg block. The blocks stick together, and compress the spring. ww 2 1
