Two blocks B and C of masses 1 kg and 2 kg respec-tively are connected by a massless elastic spring ofspring constant 150 Nm and placed on a horizontalfrictionless surface as shown in Fig. 7.6. A third blockA of mass 1 kg moves with a velocity of 3 ms alongthe line joining B and C and collides with B. If thecollision is perfectly elastic and the natural lengthof the spring is 80 cm, find the minimum separationbetween blocks B and C.CAFig. 7.6

A neutron collides elastically with an initially stationary deuteron. Find the fraction of the kinetic energy lost by the neutron in a heads on collision; I. II. in scattering at right angles.
Two balls (which we will label ball 1 and ball 2) undergo a perfectly elastic head-on collision, with ball 2 initially at rest. Suppose the incoming ball (ball 1) has a speed of 200 m/s. Assume all motion is one-dimensional and ignore friction and drag. (a.) Write out algebraic expression for both the Law of Conservation of Momentum and the Law of Conservation of Energy as they apply for this isolated system. (That is, for this part of the problem I want you to write the Conservation of Momentum equation and the Conservation of Energy equation for this system and plug in any known zero values but do not plug in any other numbers.) For the moment, leave the masses of the balls (m1 and m2) as algebraic variables (as I am not giving you numerical values for the masses just yet). (b.) We want to compute the final speeds (v1f and v2f) and directions (±x-direction, since the motion is assumed to be 1 dimensional) of the balls. We could use our conservation laws from part (a.) together to…
Assume two objects that collide with one another are both included in the system being observed. (a) If the motion is restricted to being along the x-direction (one-dimensional motion), then what equation must be true? (In other words, what equation applies to all 1-D collisions?) (b) Furthermore, if the two objects stick together after the collision, then what additional equation must be true? (c) What is the term for this type of collision? (d) Give an example of a reverse version of this type of collision.

Consider a head-on, elastic collision between twobodies whose masses are m and M, with Itis well known that if m has speed and M is initiallyat rest, m will bounce straight back with its speedunchanged, while M will remain at rest (to anexcellent approximation). Use this fact to predict thefinal velocities if M approaches with speed and mis initially at rest.
A high-carbon steel with a fully pearlitic microstructure was used to form a high-strength bolt (H.-C. Lee et al., J. Mater. Proc. Tech. 211, 1044 (2011)). It was found that the bolt head had an average interlamellar spacing of 257 nm whereas the average spacing in the body of the bolt was 134 nm. Assuming that dislocation pileup is the primary mechanism responsible for the strength of this alloy, what ratio of strength (or hardness) might be expected in the head and body of the bolt?
