Consider two cars that can roll on a frictionless track. Initially, both cars are at rest. One car is launched from rest with a spring, and the cars undergo a completely inelastic collision. The spring constant is 850 N/m, and the spring is initially compressed by 0.075 m. The first car has a mass of 0.50 kg and the second has a mass of 1.0 kg. An identical spring is located to the right of the cars. a. The velocity of the first car just before collision. b. The velocities of the cars after collision. c.

7. Two masses, m1 = 2 kg and m2 = 8 kg, are pressed onto identical springs (k = 2 × 104 N/m) so that the springs are each compressed by 10 cm. The masses are then released; they slide towards each other on a frictionless table and undergo an elastic collision. Find the speed of each mass before the collision. Find the speed of each mass after the collision. After the collision, m1 will rebound to the left and hit the spring again. How far will the spring compress before it momentarily comes to rest? m2 m,
A spring with spring constant 20 N/m is compressed a distance of 5.5 cm by a ball with a mass of 208.5 g (see figure below). The ball is then released and rolls without slipping along a horizontal surface, leaving the spring at point A. The process is repeated, using a block instead, with a mass identical to that of the ball. The block compresses the spring by 5.5 cm and is also released, leaving the spring at point A. Each object travels up the incline shown in the figure before coming to rest momentarily. Assume the ball rolls, but ignore other effects of friction. (Assume the ball rolls without slipping up the incline until it comes to rest.) (a) How high above the starting position is the ball when it comes to rest momentarily? m (b) How high above the starting position is the block when it comes to rest momentarily? m
5.00-g bullet moving with an initial speed of 400 m/s is fired into and passes through a 1.00-kg block, as shown in Figure . The block, initially at rest on a frictionless, horizontal surface, is connected to a spring with force constant 900 N/m.

A 1.5-kg block is attached to the end of a 1.9-m string to form a pendulum. The pendulum is released from rest when the string is horizontal. At the lowest point of its swing when it is moving horizontally, the block is hit by a 0.02-kg bullet moving horizontally in the opposite direction. The bullet remains in the block and causes the block to come to rest at the low point of its swing. What was the magnitude of the bullet's velocity just before hitting the block?
