A 1 kg mass is traveling at a velocity of 6 m/s to the left. It collides with a stationary 2 kg mass connected to a spring with spring constant 20 N/m. Assume that the compression of the spring caused by the collision is less than the distance between the 2 kg mass and the wall. Find the length by which the spring is compressed if the collision is
1. fully inelastic
2. fully elastic
Note: The surface the masses are on are frictionless.
