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 energy stored in the spring during the motion of the blocks after the collision? ANS14.1J

c)What is the maximum distance the first block moves down after the second block has landed on it?

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)...

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...

Block B of 40.0 kg is sitting at a frictionless horizontal floor at a height h1 = 40.0 m above the ground, when a second 100.0 kg block (block A), moving at an unknown speed hits and sticks to block B. After the collision, the combination slides down a hill which has friction, with a speed of 2.00 m/s. A. What was the speed of the block A before the collision? B. At the end of the path, a very...

A 2.00 kg block slides on a frictionless, horizontal surface with a speed of 5.10 m/s, until colliding head-on with, and sticking to, a 1.00 kg block at rest. A) Find the speed of the combination after the collision. B) The two blocks continue to slide together until coming in contact with a horizontal spring and eventually brought to rest.

Blocks A (mass 3.5 kg) and B (mass 5.5 kg) move on a frictionless, horizontal surface. Initially, block B is at rest and block A is moving toward it at 2.0 m/s. The blocks are equipped with ideal spring bumpers (as in Example 8.10, Section 8.4). The collision is head-on, so all motion before and after the collision is along a straight line. (a) Find the maximum energy stored in the spring bumpers, in Joules. (b) Find the velocity of...
