i'm having trouble starting this problem and when looking at the equations, i can't quite tell what each of those letters represent(only spent 2 class periods on this stuff.... so any help is appreciated
a 2.0 kg mass is traveling at 5 m/s on a smooth horizontal surface when it collides with and sticks to a stationary 6.0 kg mass. the larger mass is attached to a light spring of force constant 150 N/M, find amplitude of the resulting oscillations of this system.
