An object moving along a horizontal track collides with and compresses a light spring (which obeys Hooke's Law) located at the end of the track. The spring constant is 38.7 N/m, the mass of the object 0.240 kg and the speed of the object is 1.70 m/s immediately before the collision. (a) Determine the spring's maximum compression (in m) if the track is frictionless. (b) If the track is not frictionless, will the spring's maximum compression be greater than, less than, or equal to the value obtained in part (a)? O greater than O less than O equal to

Problem 4: Speed deamplifier. In the figure above on the right, block 1 of mass m1 slides along an x-axis on a frictionless floor at speed 4 m/sec.Then it undergoes a one-dimensional elastic collision with stationary block 2 of mass m2 = 2m1. Next, block 2 undergoes a one-dimensional elastic collision with stationary block 3 of mass mz = 4m1. What then is the speed of block 3? Answer: 16 m/sec or 1.78 m/sec.
