Problem #1
(3 Points) Since the surface is frictionless, mechanical energy of the oscillator after collision
remains constant. Thus, applying the law of conservation of mechanical energy to the motion of
the oscillator (combined mass) after collision, we see that mechanical energy just after collision is
equal to the mechanical energy at maximum compression. That is,
(1 Point) x M+M,)V"
where A is the amplitude (maximum compression of the spring) and V is the speed of the
combined blocks just after collision, which can be obtained using conservation of
momentum. We can thus write
