A block of mass M sits at rest at the top of a frictionless curved ramp of height h. After being released, the block is moving with speed 4v when it collides with a block of mass 1.5M at the bottom of the ramp. Immediately following the collision, the larger block has a speed 2v. The second block is attached to a vertical rope, and swings freely as a pendulum after the collision. The pendulum string has length L.

a) In terms of the other given variables, determine an expression for the height h.

b) Determine the speed and direction of the first block after the collision. Determine the maximum angle from the vertical to which the pendulum will rise after the collision.

c) Determine whether the collision was elastic or inelastic. Justify your answer!

d) If the small block had not hit the larger block, it would have slid onto a flat surface, moving a distance D before coming to rest. Determine the coefficient of kinetic friction between the small block and the flat surface.

block 1 of mass m1 slides from rest along a frictionless ramp from an unknown height h and then collides with stationary block 2, which has mass m2 = 3m1 . The collision is an elastic one. After the collision, block 2 slides into a friction-filled region where the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.5 and comes to a stop through a distance d = 10 m in that region. What is the height h?

Two blocks of masses m1 = 1.95 kg and m2 = 3.90 kg are each released from rest at a height of h = 6.00 m on a frictionless track, as shown in the figure below, and undergo an elastic head-on collision. (Let the positive direction point to the right. Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.) Two blocks are on a curved ramp similar in shape to a half-pipe. There is a flat horizontal surface with opposite...
A block of mass 19.6 kg starts at rest at the top of a frictionless ramp...
A block of mass 19.6 kg starts at rest at the top of a frictionless ramp that makes an angle of 36.2 ^\circ ∘ below the horizontal. After it slides without friction down the entire 2.89 m length of the ramp, it begins to slide horizontally along a rough concrete surface with a coefficient of kinetic friction of \mu_kμ k = 0.503 until it slows to a complete stop. How far does the block slide horizontally along the concrete before...

A block with mass 0.460 kg sits at rest on a light but not long vertical spring that has spring constant 85.0 N/m and one end on the floor. a)How much elastic potential energy is stored in the spring when the block is sitting at rest on it? ANS 0.12J b) A second identical block is dropped onto the first from a height of 4.10 mm above the first block and sticks to it. What is the maximum elastic potential...
A mass 1.9 kg is initially at rest at the top of a 2meter high ramp....
A mass 1.9 kg is initially at rest at the top of a 2meter high ramp. It slides down the frictionless ramp and collides elastically with an unknown mass which is initially at rest. After colliding with the unknown mass, the 1.9 kg mass recoils and achieves a maximum height (altitude) of only 0.2 m going back up the frictionless ramp. (HINT: Solving each part in sequence will guide you to a solution without doing a lot of algebra.) 1.Considering...

A block of mass m=1.4 kg, moving on frictionless surface with a speed v1i=5.3 m/s, makes a perfectly elastic collision with a block of mass M at rest, see the sketch. After the collision, the 1.4 kg block recoils with a speed of v1f=0.3 m/s. What is the speed of block M after the collision? A. v2f=4.8 m/s B. v2f=5.2 m/s C. v2f=3.4 m/s D. v2f=5.0 m/s

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...

There is a variable amount of friction between a block of mass m and a ramp at an angle θ above the horizontal. The kinetic and static coefficients of friction are equal but vary as µ=Ax, where x is measured along the ramp and x = 0 is the bottom of the ramp. The block is sent up the ramp with an initial speed v0, and comes to a stop somewhere on the ramp. In the following parts, take your...

A small wooden block with mass 0.750 kg is suspended from the lower end of a light cord that is 1.72 m long. The block is initially at rest. A bullet with mass 0.0136 kg is fired at the block with a horizontal velocity v0. The bullet strikes the block and becomes embedded in it. After the collision the combined object swings on the end of the cord. When the block has risen a vertical height of 0.700 m ,...
