Question

A block of mass m1 = 2 kg slides along a frictionless table with a speed of 10 m/s. Directly in front of it, and moving in the same direction, is a block of mass m2 = 5 kg moving at 3 m/s. A massless spring with a spring constant of k = 1120 N/m is attached to the backside of m2 as shown in the figure above.

When the blocks collide, what will be the maximum compression of the spring?
