A 4.0 kg box slides on a horizontal frictionless table and collides with a 1.6 kg box initially at rest on the edge of the table, at height h = 1.0 m. The speed of the 4.0 kg box is 3.6 m/s just before the collision. If the two boxes stick together because of packing tape on their sides, what is their kinetic energy just before they strike the floor? (Your result must be in Joules and include 1 digit after the decimal point. Maximum of 2% of error is accepted in your answer. Take g=9.8 m /s 2.)

The object of the speed of v(initial)=2.7 m/s when it makes contact with a light spring that has a force constant of 50 N/m. The object comes to rest after the spring has been compressed a distance d. The object is then forced toward the left by the spring and continues to move in that direction beyond the spring's unstretched position. Finally, the object comes to rest at distance D to the left of the unstretched spring. Find the distance of compression d. Find the speed v at the unstretched position when the object is moving to the left. Find the distance D where the object comes to rest.

A spring clamped to the table shoots Block 1 (110 g, wood) directly into Block 2 (80 g, steel), this perfectlyelastic collision will launch the second block up a ramp. When the spring is compressed 14 cm, the block travels upa ramp that has a height of 86 cm and then compresses another spring (310 N/m) at the top, 5 cm.

A 0.450 kg ball of Play-Doh hangs from the ceiling by a string. A 0.0850 kg wad of Play-Doh is thrown straight upward from below the ball and strikes the ball with a speed of 5.60 m/s and sticks to it. (a) Is the mechanical energy of this system conserved? Yes No (b) How high (in cm) does the combined mass of Play-Doh rise above the original position of the ball of Play-Doh? X Since the collision takes place over a very short time interval, we may conserve linear momentum to obtain the speed of the combined mass right after the collision. Knowing the speed of the combined mass the instant after the collision, see if you can use your knowledge of kinematics to determine how high the combined mass rises above the original position of the ball of Play-Doh. cm
