In the figure, block 2 (mass 1.60 kg) is at rest on a frictionless surface and touching the end of an unstretched spring of spring constant 128 N/m. The other end of the spring is fixed to a wall. Block 1 (mass 1.70 kg), traveling at speed v1 = 5.80 m/s, collides with block 2, and the two blocks stick together. When the blocks momentarily stop, by what distance is the spring compressed?

Block 2 with mass m2=5.0 kg is at rest on a frictionless surface and connected to a spring constant k=64.0 N/m. The other end of the spring is connected to a wall, and the spring is initially at its equilibrium (unstretched) position. Block 1 with mass m1=10.0 is initially traveling with speed v1=4.0 m/s and collides with block 2. The collision is instantaneous, and the blocks stick together after the collision. Find the speed of the blocks immediately after the...

A block of mass 9.1 kg rests on a horizontal frictionless floor, and is connected to a vertical wall by a spring of force constant 205 N/mN/m as shown in the figure. When the spring is in its equilibrium position (neither stretched nor compressed), the block just touches a second lighter block of mass 3.4 kg at rest on the frictionless floor. The spring is now compressed by 0.12 mm (only the heavier mass is moved towards the wall) and...

A blue block has a mass of 0.92 kg and is stationary on a horizontal frictionless surface. It is struck with a rubber mallet causing it to slide with a speed of 3.1 m/s on the horizontal surface. The mallet is in contact with the block for 23 milliseconds. The blue block collides with a red block with a mass of 0.75 kg and the two blocks stick together. The two blocks slide up a long smooth incline and come...

On a horizontal, frictionless surface, a 0.50-kg mass is at rest at x=0, attached to a wall by a spring whose spring constant is 5.0 N/m. I throw a 0.10-kg lump of clay at the mass with speed 3.0 m/s, and at time t=0 the lump hits the mass and sticks to it. (a) Where and when does the block first come to a stop? (b) How fast is the block moving when it gets back to x=0?
