A crate of mass m1 slides down a well-lubricated hill of height h, with negligible friction. At the bottom, where it is moving horizontally, it collides with another crate, of mass m2, that initially was sitting at rest and that is attached to a wall by a spring of spring constant k that initially is at its equilibrium length. Assume that the spring itself has negligible mass. a)Given that the distance d that the crates compress the spring is d=0.35 m, calculate the speed v2 of the crates immediately after the collision, in units of meters per second. Use the following values:k=950 N/mm1=2.4 kgm2=2.6 kgμ=0.49g=9.8 m/s2 b) What was the speed of the crate of mass m1 just before the collision with the second block, in meters per second? c)What is the height h of the hill, in meters?
Component Method: With your calculator, determine the x and y components of F1 and F2. Remember that Fx = Fcos θ and Fy = F sin θ. Find the x and y components of the resultant from the sum of x and y components. Draw a right triangle with x and y components as sides, and the hypotenuse representing the resultant. Calculate the magnitude of the resultant from the square root of (Rx2 + Ry2). Calculate the direction of the resultant by using θ R = tan-1 (Ry/Rx).
As shown in the figure below, a box of mass m = 6.00 kg is sliding across a horizontal frictionless surface with an initial speed v; = 3.20 m/s when it encounters a spring of constant k = 2800 N/m. The box comes momentarily to rest after compressing the spring some amount x. Determine the final compression x, of the spring.
Consider a Hot Wheels™ car with a mass of 121 g, that is pushed by a student along a track so that it is moving at 5 m/s. It hits a spring (k = 92.5 N/m) at the end of the track, causing it to compress. How far did the spring compress to bring the car to a stop? Calculate the answer in cm and make sure to include the unit. Report your final answer with three significant figures.
