A sticky wad of clay with mass m is thrown at a block of mass M, initially at rest on a frictionless surface as in the figure. After they collide and stick together, they slide into a spring, compressing it a maximum distance c. Find the clay's initial speed v if M = 1.4 kg, m =14 g, k = 171 N/m (the spring constant), and 2 = 0.09 m. (Hints: Be careful with units. Kinetic energy is lost during the collision.) k M m V= m/s Record your numerical answer below, assuming three significant figures. Remember to include a "-" when necessary.
