The 18−kg block A slides on the surface for which μk = 0.3. The block has a velocity v = 11 m/s when it is s = 3 m from the 11−kg block B. The unstretched spring has a stiffness k = 1000 N/m. Take e = 0.6. The coefficient of friction is the same for both blocks. (Figure 1). Figure 1 of 1 Part A Determine the maximum compression of the spring due to the collision. Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units. xmax = Value Units
