conservation of energy question- the air track and hanging mass

1.suppose there was no friction present. write a formula for the speed of the glider and ganging mass as a function of the distance the mass has fallen and the 2 masses (assuming that the two objects start at rest)

Answer #1

Potential energy lost by the hanging mass = kinetic energy gained by the hanging mass + kinetic energy gained by the glider

Let,

M1 = mass of the 'hanging mass'

M2 = mass of the glider

H = distance the hanging mass has fallen

V1 = speed of the glider

V2 = speed of the hanging mass

An air-track glider of mass 0.100 kg is attached to the end of a horizontal air track by a spring with force constant 20.0 N/m. Initially the spring is unstreched and the glider is moving at 1.50 m/s to the right. With the air track turned off, the coefficient of kinetic friction is ?k=0.47. It can be shown that with the air track turned off, the glider travels 8.6 cm before it stops instantaneously. Part A) How large would the...

1.How would an unleveled air track impact our conservation of energy and momentum measurements? Does the impact depend on "which way" the track is not level? 2. Suppose that the track is bowed; that is to say, the middle of the track is lower than either end. What effects would this have on conservation of momentum in each part(the ends of the track)? Conservation of energy? (Referring to air track)

A glider is free to move along an air track, which is raised at an angle of 45° above a horizontal tabletop. The glider is first placed at the top of the track so that it is at a height h above the tabletop, and after being released, it reaches a speed v at the bottom of the track. Assuming friction acts on the glider during its motion, which of the following statements is(are) true when the glider has reached...

A hanging weight, with a mass of m1 = 0.355 kg, is attached by a rope to a block with mass m2 = 0.845 kg as shown in the figure below. The rope goes over a pulley with a mass of M = 0.350 kg. The pulley can be modeled as a hollow cylinder with an inner radius of R1 = 0.0200 m, and an outer radius of R2 = 0.0300 m; the mass of the spokes is negligible. As...
