A mass, m1 = 8.00 kg, is at rest on a frictionless horizontal surface and connected to a wall by a spring with k = 70.0 N/m, as shown in the figure. A second mass, m2 = 5.00 kg, is moving to the right at v0 = 17.0 m/s. The two masses collide and stick together.

a) What is the maximum compression of the spring?

b) How long will it take after the collision to reach this maximum compression?
