Review. This problem extends the reasoning of Problem 41 in Chapter 9. Two gliders are set in motion on an air track. Glider 1 has mass m1 = 0.240 kg and moves to the right with speed 0.740 m/s. It will have a rear-end collision with glider 2, of mass m2 = 0.360 kg, which initially moves to the right with speed 0.120 m/s. A light spring of force constant 45.0 N/m is attached to the back end of glider 2 as shown in Figure P9.41. When glider 1 touches the spring, superglue instantly and permanently makes it stick to its end of the spring. (a) Find the common speed the two gliders have when the spring is at maximum compression. (b) Find the maximum spring compression distance. The motion after the gliders become attached consists of a combination of (1) the constant-velocity motion of the center of mass of the two-glider system found in part (a) and (2) simple harmonic motion of the gliders relative to the center of mass. (c) Find the energy of the center-of-mass motion. (d) Find the energy of the oscillation.

20. For motion near the surface of the earth, we usually assume that the gravitational force on a mass m is F = -mgk, but for motion involving an appreciable variation in distance r from the center of the earth, we must use e, = F = where C is a constant. Show that both these F's are conservative, and find the potential for each.

If the rod is released from rest at 0 = 60° and swings in the vertical plane, calculate (a) the velocity v of the 5-lb particle just before it hits the spring in the dashed position and (b) the maximum compression x of the spring. Assume that x is small so that the position of the rod when the spring is compressed is essentially horizontal. 10 lb 12" k = 200 lb/in. 18" 5 lb
