A block of mass M, capable of sliding with negligible friction over a horizontal air rail, is attached to one end of the rail by a spring of negligible mass and elastic constant k, initially relaxed. A projectile with mass m and horizontal velocity v, hits the block at t=0, as shown in the figure below; the projectile is attached to the block. The expression of the system's displacement X for t > 0 is:

A block of mass M, capable of sliding with negligible friction over a horizontal air rail, is attached to one end of the rail by a spring of negligible mass and elastic constant k, initially relaxed. A projectile with mass m and horizontal velocity v, hits the block at t=0, as shown in the figure below; the projectile is attached to the block. The expression of the system's displacement X for t > 0 is:

X =
[w(m+M) sin(wt) onde w=Vk/(m+M).
X=sin(wt) onde w=Vk/(m+M).
X= w(m+M) sin(wt) onde w=Vk/(m+M).
x=[7
(m+M).
sin (wt) onde w=VR/(m+M).
X =
a/m+M sin(wt) onde w=Vk/(m+M).
