i believe kinetic energy is conserved

ok so i tried V#1-V#2=V`#2-V`1 and i got V`#2=V`#1+5 then i plugged that into m#1*V#1+m#2v#2=m#1V`#1+m#2V`#2 and that came out to be 4 is that correct? and I'm still not sure how to find the maximum compression distance of the spring

Homework Statement Block #1 (m=2.00 kg) traveling to the right at 5.00 m/s along a level frictionless surface collides elastically with block #2 (m=3.00 kg) attached to a massless spring of spring constant 275 N/m. Assume that block #2 was at rest before the collision. (a) calculate the...
