A 2D side-view diagram showing a horizontal solid line representing a surface. On the left side of the surface is a rectangular block labeled 'Block A' with 'm_A' written inside it. Above Block A is a right-pointing arrow labeled 'v_0'. A zigzag line representing a spring is firmly attached to the right vertical face of Block A. To the right of the spring, separated by a small gap, is a second rectangular block labeled 'Block B' with 'm_B' written inside it. There are no arrows above Block B.
Figure 1. Block A with attached spring moving toward stationary Block B.
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.
