An object with mass m1 = 1kg moving to the right at a speed of 4m / s collides with a spring attached to a second block of mass m2 = 2kg moving left at 2m / s on a horizontal plane without friction as shown in the figure. The force constant of the spring is 105N / m and find the compression amount of the spring when the mass m1 moves at a speed of 3m / s to the right.

A 6 000-kg freight car rolls along rails with negligible friction. The car is brought to rest by a combination of two coiled springs as illustrated in Figure P6.27 (page 188). Both springs are described by Hookes law and have spring constants k1 = 1 600 N/m and k2, = 3 400 N/m. After the first spring compresses a distance of 30.0 cm, the second spring acts with the first to increase the force as additional compression occurs as shown in the graph. The car comes to rest 50.0 cm after first contacting the two-spring system. Find the cars initial speed.
