On a flat, frictionless table, two blocks (B1 of mass 2.00 kg and B2 of mass 3.00 kg) are pressed together against either end of an ideal massless spring. The spring stores 75.0 J of elastic potential energy. The blocks are not attached to the spring. What will the coefficient of restitution be if both blocks are released simultaneously?
Please help with following question!
A ball of mass mm and another ball of mass 3m are placed inside a smooth metal tube with a massless spring compressed between them. When the spring is released, the heavier ball flies out of one end of the tube with speed v0. With what speed does the lighter ball emerge from the other end? In terms of v0
A block of mass m=17 kg starts moving 100 ms^-1 up a frictionless hill of height 5 m. It hits a stationary block mass M=4kg at the top of the hill. They stick together and move away along a level, frictionless surface. What’s their velocity after collision?
A railroad car of mass M moving at a speed v1 collides and couples with two coupled railroad cars, each of the same mass M and moving in the same direction at a speed v2. How much kinetic energy is lost in the collision? Answer in terms of M, v1, and v2.KEi − KEf = ?
A ball is attached to one end of a wire, the other end being fastened to the ceiling. The wire is held horizontal, and the ball is released from rest (see the drawing). It swings downward and strikes a block initially at rest on a horizontal frictionless surface. Air resistance is negligible, and the collision is elastic. The masses of the ball and block are, respectively, 1.7 kg and 2.3 kg, and the length of the wire is 1.21 m. Find the velocity (magnitude and direction) of the ball (a) just before the collision, and (b) just after the collision.
1. In an experiment, you throw a rubber ball of mass m = 25.0 g onto a block of mass M = 250 g that is initially at rest at the edge of a table of height h = 0.98 m. (Figure) The ball bounces back with a speed of 1.01 m/s, and the block eventually lands at d = 1.02 m from the bottom of the table. What is the speed of the ball, right before it hits the block? d
A block of mass 0.2 kg is launched by a spring k1= 2.0 N/m. The block moves along a frictionless horizontal table and pushes another spring, k2 = 2.3 N/m , to the maximum deflection x. If the initial deflection of the spring k1 is 0.050 m, what is the maximum deflection of spring k2? Consider that the masses of the springs are negligible.
In the figure, block 2 (mass 1.20 kg) is at rest on a frictionless surface and touching the end of an unstretched spring of spring constant 209 N/m. The other end of the spring is fixed to a wall. Block 1 (mass 1.20 kg), traveling at speed v1 = 3.50 m/s, collides with block 2, and the two blocks stick together. When the blocks momentarily stop, by what distance is the spring compressed?

You wake up one morning to find yourself in a strange room with opaque walls, and no visible doors or windows. You decide to do some experiments to find out more about your strange situation. Your own body mass is 59.1 kg. This time you drop a ball from a height of 1.93 m and it hits the floor 0.251 s after you drop it. This time you suspect you are on a rocket that has just left the surface of the Earth, and is still not too far above the ground. What do you deduce the rocket s acceleration to be? 82.4 m/s^2 51.5 m/s^2 71.1 m/s^2 61.3 m/s^2
In a car crash, a Volvo of mass 1.85 x 104 kg collides with a stationary truck of mass 2.20 x 104 kg at a speed of u = 20.0 ms-1. Filling the crash, they connect and move at the same speed. There is no friction but the train driver blows a whistle (length = 0.480 m) which is open at one end and closed at the other and travels at a speed in air of 343 ms-1. If an observer stood nearby on a bridge above hears the whistle as the train approaches at 40.0 ms-1: 1. Demonstrate how the whistle frequency perceived by the observer is 13.2% greater than the frequency perceived by the driver. 2. Describe how the sound of the whistle heard by the observer will change as the train approaches and goes past the bridge
A 5.00-g bullet moving with an initial speed of v₁ = 390 m/s is fired into and passes through a 1.00-kg block as shown in the figure below. The block, initially at rest on a frictionless, horizontal surface, is connected to a spring with force constant 860 N/m. The block moves d = 5.40 cm to the right after impact before being brought to rest by the spring. (a) Find the speed at which the bullet emerges from the block. m/s (b) Find the amount of initial kinetic energy of the bullet that is converted into internal energy in bullet-block system during the collision.
