Figure 6.

40 shows two masses on springs arranged to collide with each other when the springs are at their
unstretched lengths l0. At time t = 0, both springs are compressed an identical amount x0. Assuming each mass has
identical mass m, each spring has the same spring constant k, and the coefficient of restitution between the masses
is e, find an expression for the maximum spring compression after the nth collision. Using matlab, plot maximum
spring compression versus collision number for the first 10 collisions. Use the following parameters: x 0 = 10 m, l0 = 5
m, e = 0.9, 0.75, 0.5, and 0.2. Plot the results on a single graph for all values of e (so there should be four plots on
the graph).
