Draw separate free-body diagrams for each block and for the spring immediately after release. Indicate separately the vertical forces (perpendicular to the table top) and the horinra1 forces (parallel to the table top). Clearly label all forces.
Identify all the each member of the second pair as
etc.).

The free body diagram of block and spring.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Newtonian mechanics states that force never occurs singly in nature. Force is the mutual interaction between two bodies. The mutual forces are always equal and opposite in direction.
When the block is being apart, the spring force is acting towards the equilibrium position, and the block is coming towards each other as the spring is compressed.
In the vertical direction, force is acting on the block due to gravity.
The free body diagram in the vertical direction is shown in figure 1.
Figure 1
The free body diagram in horizontal direction is shown in figure 2.
Figure 2
Conclusion:
Therefore, the free body diagram in the vertical and horizontal direction is shown in Figures 1 and 2 respectively.

The 3.7 × 10-10 C sphere is fixed whie the 3.0 × 107 C sphere, initially at rest, is free to move. The mass of each sphere is 0.09 kg. If the spheres are initially 0.10 m apart, how fast will the sphere be moving when they are 1.5 m apart?arrow_forwardpls help on allarrow_forward

(re = 6.38 × 106 m, ME = 5.98 × 1024 kg, G = 6.67 × 10 -11 Nm²/kg²) a. Calculate the strength of Earth's gravitational field at a point at the peak of Mount Everest. b. What is the ratio of the strength of Earth's gravitational field at a point 644416m below the surface of the Earth to a point at the top of Mount Everest? C. A tourist watching the sunrise on top of Mount Everest observes a satellite orbiting Earth at an altitude 3580 km above his position. Determine the speed of the satellite.arrow_forwardpls help on allarrow_forwardpls help on allarrow_forward
