Question
A mass m1 = 8.00 kg is in equilibrium while
connected to a light spring of constant k = 155
N/m, as shown in the figure. A second mass,
m2 = 6.00 kg, is slowly pushed up against m1,
compressing the spring by the amount A =
0.150 m. the system is then released, and both
masses start moving to the right on the
frictionless surface. When m, reaches the
equilibrium point, m2 loses contact with m, and
moves to the right with speed v.
a. Determine speed v.
b. How far apart are the masses when the
spring is fully stretched for the first time after
m2 loses contact with m,? Note: this distance
is labeled D in the figure.
