Question
A mass m1 = 10.5 kg, with initial velocity V0 = 12.5 m/s, strikes a mass-spring system m2 = 7.25 kg, initially at rest but able to recoil. Assume the spring is massless and the surface horizontal and frictionless. See the figure below. If the collision is completely elastic, what are the final speeds V1 and V2 of m1 and m2, respectively?

Block m, of mass 15 kg moving with velocity v = 33 m/s on a frictionless plane collides block mg which is connected to block m3 by a long. massless spring with spring constant k = 7000 N/m: see the figure. Each of blocks mą and mg has a mass of 5 kg. Before the collision, blocks mą and mg are stationary and the spring is relaxed. m2 Frictionless - For parts A. B and Cassume that the collision of blocks m, and ma is completely inelastic. (Because the spring is relaxed before the collision. block mạ does not move at the instant of impact therefore (m, +m2) must move through a finite displacement before any force acts on mg and cause it to move) • For parts D and Eassume that the collision of blocks m, and m, is elastic. (Because the spring is relaxed before the collision. block my does not move at the instant of impact therefore mạ must move through a finite displacement before any force acts on mg and cause it to move)…arrow_forwardIn Figure (1), a 3.50 g bullet is fired horizontally at two blocks at rest on a frictionless table.
