Initial US-4 Jorge has designed a system with two springs to shoot a box y₁ across a smooth (frictionless) floor. The box starts at rest in the position shown in the top figure. In this position the moveable end of both springs is 0.150m from the wall (the y axis). The spring constant of the top spring is K₁=160N/m and of the bottom spring is WW m=15.0kg x=0.850m x=0.450m x=0.150m x (m)

Transcribed Image Text:US-4 Jorge has designed a system
with two springs to shoot a box
across a smooth (frictionless)
floor. The box starts at rest
in the position shown in the
top figure. In this position
the moveable end of both
springs is 0.150m from the
wall (the y axis). The
spring constant of the top
spring is K₁=160N/m and
of the bottom spring is
K₂=900N/m.
After release, the box has a
speed V₂ after it has left the
springs.
