Check Your Understanding There is a second solution to the system of equations solved in this example (because the energy equation is quadratic): v1.f=-2.5m/s , v2.f=0 . This solution is unacceptable on physical grounds; what’s with it?
Two blocks of masses m and 3m are placed on a frictionless, horizontal surface. A light spring is attached to the more massive block, and the blocks are pushed together with the spring between them (Fig. P8.7). A cord initially holding the blocks together is burned; after that happens, the block of mass 3m moves to the right with a speed of 2.00 m/s. (a) What is the velocity of the block of mass m? (b) Find the systems original elastic potential energy, taking m = 0.350 kg. (c) Is the original energy in the spring or in the cord? (d) Explain your answer to part (c). (e) Is the momentum of the system conserved in the bursting-apart process? Explain how that is possible considering (f) there are large forces acting and (g) there is no motion beforehand and plenty of motion afterward? Figure P8.7
Two projectiles of mass m1 and m2 , are fired at the same speed but in opposite directions from two launch sites separated by a distance D. They both reach the same spot in their highest point and strike there. As a result of the impact they stick together and move as a single body afterwards. Find the place they will land.
The coefficient of friction between the block of mass m1 = 3.00 kg and ilie surface in Figure P8.22 is k = 0.400. The system starts from rest. What is the speed of the ball of mass m2 = 5.00 kg when it has fallen a distance h = 1.50 m?
Two gliders are set in motion on a horizontal air track. A spring of force constant k is attached to the back end of the second glider. As shown in Figure P8.48, the first glider, of mass m1, moves to the right with speed v1, and the second glider, of mass m2, moves more slowly to the right with speed v2. When m1 collides with the spring attached to m2, the spring compresses by a distance xmax, and the gliders then move apart again. In terms of v1, v2, m1, m2, and k, find (a) the speed rat maximum compression, (b) the maximum compression xmax, and (c) the velocity of each glider after m1 has lost contact with the spring.

If the new speed of the heavier car is 14.0 m/s,(a) what is the speed of the lighter car after the collision, assuming that anyunbalanced forces on the system are negligibly small, and(b) what average power is dissipated during the collision if they collide for 1.4seconds?
A small block of mass m = 3.00 kg starts from rest and slides down a rough 30.0° incline from a height of h=3.60m. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the incline is μk = 0.20. At the bottom it strikes a big block of mass M = 12.0kg, which is at rest on a horizontal frictionless surface. The collision is elastic.

During an ice show, a 57.5-kg skater leaps into the air and is caught by an initially stationary 87.5 kg skater. What is their final speed, in meters per second, assuming negligible friction and that the 57.5 kg skater’s initial horizontal speed is 4.1 m/s? How much kinetic energy is lost, in joules?
A 3kg steel ball strikes a wall with a speed of 6 m/sec at an angle of 300 with the surface. It bounces off with the same speed and angle. If the ball is in contact with the wall for 0.2 sec, what is the average force exerted on the ball by the wall?
A 5.00-kg ball is hanging from a long but very light flexible wire when it is struck by a 1.00-kgstone traveling horizontally to the right at 15.0 m/s in an inelastic collision. The stone rebounds tothe left with a speed of 5.00 m/s, and the ball swings to a maximum height h above its originallevel, find this maximum height reached.
