Would it be similar to my original equation? Sorry I struggle with finding my SHM equations.

But which equation should I use, my original equation asks for the distance the spring is pulled and I'm not sure what to put for the x0.

This was the whole first question, but my professor asked the question in my orginal post: Figure 15.15 shows block 1 of mass0.200 kg0.200 kg sliding to the right over a frictionless elevated surface at a speed of8.00 m/s8.00 m/s. The block undergoes an elastic collision with stationary block 2...

I calculated the mass of block two with the period without friction. I got a mass of 0.6 kg, but I was not sure if that would change since the period of the block is technically changing when friction is considered.

This is the image provided with the problem, the values given include: d= 4.00 m, the mass of block one=0.200 kg, speed of block one=8.00 m/s, the period of oscillations for block two without friction=0.140 s, and the spring constant= 1208.5 N/m. I know how to solve the oscillations if block...
