A ball of mass m which is projected with speed vi into the barrel of a spring-gun of mass M initially at rest on a frictionless surface, as shown in the attached file below. The ball sticks in the barrel at the point of maximum compression of the spring. No energy is lost in friction. A) In terms of the given masses and the kinetic energy, what energy is stored in the spring at its maximum compression? B) If the mass of the ball and the gun are equal and the spring constant is given as k, determine the maximum compression of the spring in terms of the initial kinetic energy and the spring constant k.
