A block of mass m1 = 1.90 kg initially moving to the right with a speed of 4.6 m/s on a frictionless, horizontal track collides with a spring attached to a second block of mass m2 = 4.8 kg initially moving to the left with a speed of 1.1 m/s.The spring constant is 519 N/m.

What if m1 is initially moving at 3.4 m/s while m2 is initially at rest? (a) Find the maximum spring compression in this case. x = -Use the condition for maximum compression of the spring and momentum and energy methods to find the maximum compression. (b) What will be the individual velocities of the two masses (v1 and v2) after the spring extended fully again? (That is, when the two masses separate from each other after the collision is complete.) v1 = m/s to the left v2 = m/s to the right

A block of mass m1 = 1.20 kg moving at v1 = 1.20 m/s undergoes a completely inelastic collision with a stationary block of mass m2 = 0.500 kg . The blocks then move, stuck together, at speed v2. After a short time, the two-block system collides inelastically with a third block, of mass m3 = 2.60 kg , which is initially at rest. The three blocks then move, stuck together, with speed v3. Assume that the blocks slide without...

A block moving with speed vo = 10 m/s and mass m1 = 6 kg collides with a block of mass m2 = 5 kg initially at rest. (Both slide on a frictionless surface at all times.) Now the two blocks collide with a third block initially at rest. What is the final momentum of the system? Question options: A) 30 kg-m/s B) 60 kg-m/s C) 190 kg-m/s D) 250 kg-m/s E) 310 kg-m/s

Block #1 (4 kg) moves & collides with Block #2 (1 kg) with u2 = 9 m/s /to the left. After the collision, Block #1 has v1 = 2.7 m/s /to the left and Block #2 has v2 = 7.8 m/s /to the right. By calculation, show whether or not the collision is perfectly elastic. NOTE: Use ONLY the two linear equations – no kinetic energy is allowed. m1*u1 + m2*u2 = m1*v1 + m2*v2            u1 + v1 = u2...
