Chapter 9, Problem 16P
A strong man is compressing a lightweight spring between two weights. One weight has a mass of 2.3 kg, the other a mass of 5.3 kg. He is holding the weights stationary, but then he loses his grip and the weights fly off in opposite directions. The lighter of the two is shot out at a speed of 6.0 m/s. What is the speed of the heavier weight?

- 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.arrow_forwardYou hold a slingshot at arms length, pull the light elastic band back to your chin, and release it to launch a pebble horizontally with speed 200 cm/s.

- Two objects are connected by a light string passing over a light, frictionless pulley as shown in Figure P7.7.

Using the isolated system model, (a) determine the speed of the object of mass m2 = 3.00 kg just as the 5.00-kg object hits the table and (b) find the maximum height above the table to which the 3.00-kg object rises.arrow_forwardThe coefficient of friction between the block of mass m1 = 3.00 kg and ilie surface in Figure P8.22 is k = 0.400.

The block moves d = 5.00 cm to the right after impact before being brought to rest by the spring.

Initially, bumper car 1 is traveling to the east at 5.62 m/s, and bumper car 2 is traveling 60.0 south of west at 10.00 m/s. They collide and stick together, as the driver of one car reaches out and grabs hold of the other driver. The two bumper cars move off together after the collision, and friction is negligible between the cars and the ground. a. If the masses of bumper cars 1 and 2 are 596 kg and 625 kg respectively, what is the velocity of the bumper cars immediately after the collision? b. What is the kinetic energy lost in the collision? c. Compare your answers to part (b) from this and Problem 54. Is one answer larger than the other?
