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?

As shown in Figure P8.20, a bullet of mass m and speed v passes completely through a pendulum bob of mass M. The bullet emerges with a speed of v/2. The pendulum bob is suspended by a stiff rod (not a string) of length , and negligible mass. What is the minimum value of v such that the pendulum bob will barely swing through a complete vertical circle? Figure P8.20
A block of mass m1 = 4.00 kg initially at rest on top of a frictionless, horizontal table is attached by a lightweight string to a second block of mass m2 = 3.00 kg hanging vertically from the edge of the table and a distance h = 0.450 m above the floor (Fig. P8.77). If the edge of the table is assumed to be frictionless, what is the speed with which the first block leaves the edge of the table?
A 5.00-kg block is moving at 5.00 m/s along a horizontal frictionless surface toward an ideal massless spring that is attached to a wall. After the block collides with the spring, it keeps moving rightwards until the spring reaches its maximum compression of 1.68 m. After reaching maximum compression, the block and spring come to rest momentarily, and then move leftwards. While it is moving to the left, what is the speed of the block when it has moved so that the spring is compressed to only one-half of the maximum distance?
A arrow of mass 0.01 kg moving horizontal suddenly strikes a block of wood of mass 8.6 kg that is suspended by a light string, like a pendulum. The arrow passes through the wood, then the wood swings upward and momentarily stops when the string is horizontal. The length of the string is 2.0 cm. How long did it take the arrow to go through the wood if the friction force between the bullies and the wood is 100 N?
A pendulum of length L = 1.0 meter and bob of mass m = 1.0 kg is released from rest at an angle θ = 30 degrees. When the pendulum reaches the vertical position, the bob strikes a cube with mass M = 3.0 kg that is resting on a frictionless table of height h = 0.85 m. d. Determine how far away from the bottom edge of the table, Δx, the cube will strike the floor e. At the location where the cube would have struck the floor, there is now a small cart of mass M = 3.0 kg and negligible height. The cube lands on the cart, and sticks to the cart in a completely *inelastic* collision. Ignore friction. Calculate the horizontal velocity of the cart just after the cube lands on it.
A 1.91 kg mass is initially at rest upon a frictionless, horizontal surface. An applied force of 8.2 N i then acts on the mass for 3.97 seconds. What is the speed of the mass when the applied force stops acting?
A 7.7 kg mass is attached to a massless spring with spring constant k = 32.7 n/m . The system rests on a frictionless horizontal surface. If the spring is compressed by 8.6 cm, then released, what is the maximum velocity of the mass?
A stationary 1.67-kg object is struck by a stick. The object experiences a horizontal force given by F = at - bí2, where t is the time in milliseconds from the instant the stick first contacts the object. If a = 1500 N/(ms) and b = 20 N/(ms)2, what is the speed of the object just after it comes away from the stick at t = 2.74 ms?
Two masses m1=2.1 kg and m2=4.0 kg are located on the x axis and initially at rest. At r=0, a force is applied to each mass. A force of 3.1 N is applied to m1 in the +x direction and a force of 2.0 N is applied to m2 in the -x direction. What is the the work done on the center of mass of this two mass system during the time interval Osrs7.60? W= ____J
A mass of 0.5 kg moving with a speed of 1.5 m/s on a horizontal smooth surface, collides with a nearly weightless spring of force constant k = 50 N/m. The maximum compression of the spring would be Fooooo
A spring of negligible mass is compressed between two blocks, A and B, which are at rest on a frictionless horizontal surface at a distance of 1.00 m from a wall on the left and 5.80 m from a wall on the right. The sizes of the blocks and the spring are small. When the spring is released, block A moves toward the left wall and strikes it at the same instant that block B strikes the right wall. The mass of A is 0.600 kg. What is the mass of B?
Problem B2. A small box of mass m = 1.50 kg starts from rest and glides down a smooth, frictionless hill fromn a height h = 2.00 m to the base, where it meets a rough plank of mass M = 5.00 kg that is resting on the frictionless horizontal ground surface. Due to the friction between the box and the plank, its speed is reduced until, at a certain moment, it begins to move together with the plank as if they were a single object. Figure B2. Problem diagram B2 b) Find the speed with which the box and the plank move together.
