Two gliders move frictionlessly towards each other. Glider A has a mass of 2.5 kg and is moving right at a speed of 3.0 m/s. Glider B has a mass of 2.1 kg and is moving left at a speed of 1.2 m/s. Glider B is cushioned by a spring with a spring constant of 1.5 × 104 N/m. Determine the maximum compression of the spring during the collision.
