Question

Consider a 6.2 kg mass attached to a spring of stiffness 269 N/m. The mass is at rest initially at its equilibrium position. A 19.7 kg mass sliding to the

right at 5 m/s collides with the mass, and the two have an elastic collision. Calculate the energy of the resulting simple harmonic motion of the first mass (they don't stick together because it's elastic) in 1
