Consider two blocks A and B of masses m₁=10 ~kg and m₂=5 ~kg that are placed on a frictionless table. The block A moves with a constant speed v=3 ~m / s towards the block B kept at rest. A spring with spring constant k =3000 ~N / m is attached with the block B as shown in the figure. After the collision, suppose that the blocks A and B, along with the spring in constant compression state, move together, then the comp
