A stationary block of mass 5 kg explodes into two pieces L and R that slide across a frictionless floor. The left piece slides across the region with friction and stops, the right piece compresses a spring. Momentum is conserved during the explosion. Piece L has a mass of 2 kg and encounters a flat surface with coefficient of kinetic friction µL = 0.4 and slides to a stop in distance di = 0.5 m. Piece R slides across the frictionless surface and compresses the spring of spring constant 120 N/m. How far does piece R compress the spring? k = 120 N/m HL = 0.4

In the figure, block 1 of mass m1 slides from rest along a frictionless ramp from height h and then collides with stationary block 2, which has mass m2 = 3m1. After the collision, block 2 slides into a region where the coefficient of kinetic friction is μk and comes to a stop in distance d within that region. What is the value of distance d if the collision is (a) elastic and (b) completely inelastic? Express your answer in terms of the variables given and g.

Same situation as before. This time it s a block of mass 1.07 kg sliding with a constant velocity of 3.51 m/s to the north, which collides 100% elastically with a second, stationary block, of mass 4.28 kg, head-on, and rebounds back to the south, eventually colliding 100% elastically with a wall and rebounding northward. It then overtakes the second block, which is still moving north as a result of the first collision. What will be the speeds of the 1.07-kg and 4.28-kg blocks, respectively, after their SECOND collision with one another?
Two blocks of masses M and 3M are placed on a horizontal, frictionless surface. A light spring is attached to one of them, and the blocks are pushed together with the spring between them. A cord holding them together is burned, after which the block of mass 3M moves to the right with a speed of 55.1 m/s. What is the speed of the block of mass M?
