A 5.0 kg weight is hanging from an ideal spring with a k of 250N/m. The block is pulled down .075m from equilibrium.   Will the new period for the motion of the block be greater than, less than, or equal to the period for the motion of the block if it were pulled down .15m?  Why?   The first block is brought to rest at equilibrium again.  An identical block is launched up into the first block. The new block is moving with an initial speed of v=5.0m/s when it collides with and sticks to the original block. Calculate the maximum compression of the spring after the collision of the two blocks.

Question

A 5.0 kg weight is hanging from an ideal spring with a k of 250N/m. The block is pulled down .075m from equilibrium.  

  1. Will the new period for the motion of the block be greater than, less than, or equal to the period for the motion of the block if it were pulled down .15m? 
  2. Why?

 

The first block is brought to rest at equilibrium again.  An identical block is launched up into the first block. The new block is moving with an initial speed of v=5.0m/s when it collides with and sticks to the original block.

  1. Calculate the maximum compression of the spring after the collision of the two blocks.
