There is a compressed spring between two laboratory carts of masses m1 = 105 g and m2 = 212 g. Initially, the carts are held at rest on a horizontal track (Fig. P10.40A). The carts are released, and the cart of mass m1 has velocity vi=2.035i m/s in the positive x direction (Fig. 10.40B). Assume rolling friction is negligible. a. What is the net external force on the two-cart system? b. Find the velocity of cart 2. FIGURE P10.40 Problems 40 and 41.
Consider two rigid objects whose masses are mA and mB. Their initial velocities are vAi and vBi. What is the final velocity of object A, vAf, in terms of mA , mB , vAi , and vBi ? Hint: A good starting point is these two equations: mA vAi + mB vBi = mA vAf + mB vBf , and 0.5 ( mA vAi2 + mB vBi2 ) = 0.5 ( mA vAf 2 + mB vBf 2 ) , where vBf is the final velocity of object b. 2.What is vAf in the limit of mA / mB à 0? 3.What is vAf in the limit of mB / mA à 0? 4.Show that vAi + vAf = vBi + vBf .

A block of mass ?=3.70 kgm=3.70 kg slides along a horizontal table with velocity ?0=4.00 m/sv0=4.00 m/s. At ?=0x=0, it hits a spring with spring constant ?=43.00 N/mk=43.00 N/m and it also begins to experience a friction force. The coefficient of friction is given by ?=0.400μ=0.400. How far has the spring compressed by the time the block first momentarily comes to rest? Assume the positive direction is to the right.
u(x)=-x^3+4x^2. At the initial moment of time a body of mass 2g starts out from the point x_0 at a velocity of v_0 (cm/sec): (a) x_0=1,v_0=1, (b) x_0=-2,v_0=1, (c) x_0=-2,v_0=-1.

In the case of stopping points, give at least a rough idea of their coordinates.
