You have a new internship, where you are helping to design a new freight yard for the train station in your city. There will be a number of dead-end sidings where single cars can be stored until they are needed. To keep the cars from running off the tracks at the end of the siding, you have designed a combination of two coiled springs as illustrated shown. When a car moves to the right in the figure and strikes the springs, they exert a force to the left on the car to slow it down. Both springs are described by Hooke’s law and have spring constants k1 = 1 600 N/m and k2 = 3 400 N/m. After the first spring compresses by a distance of d = 30.0 cm, the second spring acts with the first to increase the force to the left on the car as shown. When the spring with spring constant k2 compresses by 50.0 cm, the coils of both springs are pressed together, so that the springs can no longer compress. A typical car on the siding has a mass of 6 000 kg.…
