Two blocks are free to slide along the frictionless wooden track shown below. The block of mass m, = 4.98 kg is released from the position shown, at height h = 5.00 m above the flat part of the track. Protruding from its front end is the north pole of a strong magnet, which repels the north pole of an identical magnet embedded in the back end of the block of mass m, = 9.20 kg, initially at rest. The two blocks never touch. Calculate the maximum height to which m, rises after the elastic collision. m An object of mass 3.07 kg, moving with an initial velocity of 4.98 î m/s, collides with and sticks to an object of mass 3.07 kg with an initial velocity of -4.07 j m/s.

4) A toy wood block of mass m1= 3.25 kg is pushed by hand to compress a spring with a spring constant k= 550 N/m a distance As = 25cm. The toy block is released by the hand and the spring launches the toy block across a frictionless surface toward a more massive wood block ofimass m2= 5.0 kg. The 3.5 kg wood block is moving with an unkown velocity right before it collides with the more massive wood block which is at rest. After the collision, the 5.0 kg block is moving to the right with a velocity of 3 m/s. The more massive 5.0 kg block encounters a long rough section of surface having a coefficient of kinetic uk=0.22 and is eventually brought to rest. a) Find the velocity of the 3.25 kg block just before the collision. b) Find the velocity of the 3.25 kg block just after the collision c) What is the system's energy just before the collision? d) What is the system's energy just after the collision? e) Is this collision, elastic, completely inelastic, or inelastic? f) What is the…
