- A cart of mass m₁ = 4 kg is on frictionless surface and compressed against an ideal spring with spring constant k = 158 N/m for a distance of x = 1.08 m. After it is released, it hits a second cart of mass m₂ = 9 kg and bounces back while the second car continues traveling onto a ramp where it reaches a height of h₂ = 0.69 m. Find the magnitude of the velocity of the first cart in m/s immediately after hitting the second cart.

- Two rigid bodies, A and B, both 1 kg in mass, are connected by a linear spring with a spring constant of 0.2 N/m. Initially, the spring is unstretched and the bodies are at rest. If multiple forces and moments are applied to the two bodies that result in the speed of body A increasing to 10 m/s, the speed of body B increasing to 4 m/s, and the stretch of the spring increasing by 10 m, then -20 Nm of work was done by the spring on the body A, B system.

It swings downward and strikes a block initially at rest on a horizontal frictionless surface. Air resistance is negligible, and the collision is elastic. The masses of the ball and block are, respectively, 1.7 kg and 2.5 kg, and the length of the wire is 1.36 m.

- You wake up one morning to find yourself in a strange room with opaque walls, and no visible doors or windows. You decide to do some experiments to find out more about your strange situation. Your own body mass is 50.1 kg. You pick up an object and drop it from rest, starting at a height of 1.97 meters above the floor, and it hits the floor 0.380 seconds later. You can ignore air resistance. Based on the outcome of this experiment, when you step on the scale provided for you, what weight will it register for your body? 684 N 911 N 1,367 N 491.5 Narrow_forwardA small ball of mass mb = 0.050 kg is projected into a pendulum of mass Mp = 0.200 kg in a ballistic pendulum experiment.
