A 3.00 kg low friction cart sits on a horizontal surface. At each end, there is a spring of force constant 100 N/m attached to a firm support. The cart starts at rest at the equilibrium position. A quick blow of a hammer delivers an impulse of 0.50 N-s to the cart. (a)How long will it take for the cart to return to the equilibrium position? (b) How much energy is delivered to the cart by the impulse of the hammer? (c) How far will the cart travel

Question

A 3.00 kg low friction cart sits on a horizontal surface. At each end, there is a spring of force constant 100 N/m attached to a firm support. The cart starts at rest at the equilibrium position. A quick blow of a hammer delivers an impulse of 0.50 N-s to the cart.

(a)How long will it take for the cart to return to the equilibrium position?

(b) How much energy is delivered to the cart by the impulse of the hammer?

(c) How far will the cart travel before returning to the equilibrium position?
