Cart A had a mass of 250g, and it rolled down an incline before it caught up to cart B whic had a mass of 350g. Cart A started from rest, 1.00m vertically above the level of cart B. Cart B was moving at 1.50m/s [right] before cart A collided with it. Cart B has a compression-spring connected to its rear side so that Cart A compresses the spring as it collides with Cart B. The spring constant of the compression spring was 200.0N/m. a. Determine the maximum compression of the spring as the carts collide b. Determine the velocities of each of the carts once the spring has completely recoile

Question
5. Cart A had a mass of 250g, and it rolled down an incline before it caught up to cart B which
had a mass of 350g. Cart A started from rest, 1.00m vertically above the level of cart B.
Cart B was moving at 1.50m/s [right] before cart A collided with it. Cart B has a
compression-spring connected to its rear side so that Cart A compresses the spring as it
collides with Cart B. The spring constant of the compression spring was 200.0N/m.
a. Determine the maximum compression of the spring as the carts collide
b. Determine the velocities of each of the carts once the spring has completely recoiled
