Momentum Conservation to Oscillation
A hovercraft is at rest and attached to an uncompressed spring. A small pellet will be fired at the hovercraft and become embedded into it

You will need to determine the speed of the system after the collision, the maximum compression of the spring, and the period of oscillation
