- Use the worked example above to help you solve this problem. A block of mass m1 = 1.72 kg, initially moving to the right with a velocity of +3.95 m/s on a frictionless horizontal track, collides with a massless spring attached to a second block of mass m2 = 2.01 kg moving to the left with a velocity of −2.83 m/s. The spring has a spring constant of 6.33 x102 N/m. (a) Determine the velocity of block 2 at the instant when block 1 is moving to the right with a velocity of +3.00 m/s.

- A block sliding along a frictionless, horizontal surface with a speed of 0.6 m/s collides with a spring attached to a wall. The spring is compressed 19.0 cm before the block is stopped. If the same block were to collide with the spring again while having a speed of 2.6 m/s, what would the spring's compression be before stopping the block this time, in centimetres? Be clear and show all your work. (HANDWRITTEN)arrow_forwardTwo blocks with mass m and 2m are placed on a frictionless surface, and m is placed on top of 2m. Given the maximum static friction coefficent between two blocks is u, what is the maximum external force extered on 2m so that two blocks will move with the same acceleration? Please express in u, m and g. Show your work.arrow_forwardWe will now determine how the 1/3 rule comes about. Consider a spring of mass ms which is attached to a wall and oscillates on a frictionless surface as shown below. The spring’s mass is uniformly distributed along the length of the spring. We will start with the infinitesimal form of kinetic energy, i.e. dKE = ½ (dms )v2. This formula will apply to an infinitesimal segment of the spring of length dx and mass dms as indicated below. For any point on the spring, the velocity of oscillation will be given by v = (ve/L)x where ve is the velocity of the spring at its end where the mass m is attached, and L is the stretched length of the spring at that instant. Thus, when x = 0 then v = 0, and when x = L/2 then v = ½ ve. Hint: Figure out how to relate dms to dx and then integrate both sides of the infinitesimal kinetic energy equation to get an equation for the kinetic energy of the spring that includes ms/3.arrow_forward
- This section is unrelated to the previous one (a). As illustrated in the right figure, three springs with spring constants of k, 2k, and 3k are connected. The springs k and 2k, for example, are both linked to the wall and coupled to a moveable plate of insignificant mass. After that, the plate is connected to the spring 3k, which is attached to a mass m block.Find the spring system's effective spring constant, keff. The spring force operating on the block is F = keff x if the block is displaced from its equilibrium position by a displacement x.arrow_forwardA toy uses a spring to launch projectiles.
