In the figure, block 2 (mass 1.40 kg) is at rest on a frictionless surface and touching the end of an unstretched spring of spring constant 261 N/m. The other end of the spring is fixed to a wall. Block 1 (mass 1.50 kg), traveling at speed v1 = 4.20 m/s, collides with block 2, and the two blocks stick together. When the blocks momentarily stop, by what distance is the spring compressed?

A light spring of force constant 4.00 N/m is compressed by 8.00 cm and held between a 0.250 kg block on the left and a 0.540 kg block on the right. Both blocks are at rest on a horizontal surface. The blocks are released simultaneously so that the spring tends to push them apart. Find the maximum velocity each block attains if the coefficient of kinetic friction between each block and the surface is the following. In each case, assume that the coefficient of static friction is greater than the coefficient of kinetic friction. Let the positive direction point to the right.

Judy has a mass of 72.0kg and stands on slippery ice. She catches her leaping dog (mass 15.0kg),moving horizontally at 3.00 m/s. What is the speed of Judy and her dog after she catches him?
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 1400 kg weather rocket accelerates upward at 10 m/s^2. It explodes 1.6 s after liftoff and breaks into two fragments, one twice as massive as the other. Photos reveal that the lighter fragment traveled straight up and reached a maximum height of 590 m. What was the speed of the heavier fragment just after the explosion?
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
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.
Block A (mass 3.00 kg) is moving on a frictionless tabletop toward block B (mass 18.0 kg) with a spring attached. The other end of the spring is fixed on the wall. The spring constant of the spring is 300 N/m. Block A is traveling horizontally with 10.0 m/s before it collides to block B, and then it rebounds at 3.00 m/s horizontally to the left. What is the maximum distance that the block will compress the spring after the collision?
