Block A of mass \(m_A\) is traveling at speed \(v_0\) to the right on a horizontal, frictionless surface. An ideal, massless spring of spring constant \(k\) is attached to the right face of Block A. Block B of mass \(m_B\) is initially at rest on the surface. Block A collides with Block B, compressing the spring. • Nerd Notes
