Mass on a Spring: A 2.0 kg box is traveling at 5.0 m/s on a smooth horizontal surface when it collides with and sticks to a stationary 6.0 kg box. The larger box is attached to an ideal spring of force constant (spring constant) 150 N/m, as shown in the figure. Find (a) the amplitude of the resulting oscillations of this system, (b) the frequency of the oscillations and (c) the period of the oscillations.
