Question
Bumper car "A' , with mass 54.0 × 104 kg, coasts across a level track at 4.50 m/s when it collides elastically with a spring-loaded bumper car "B" at the end of the track. If the maximum compression of the spring during the collision is 1.80 m , what is spring constant of the spring on bumper car "B"?

- A 10.0 g bullet is fired into and embeds itself in a 1.75 kg block attached to a spring with a spring constant of 22.0 N/m and whose mass is negligible. How far is the spring compressed if the bullet has a speed of 300 m/s just before it strikes the block, and the block slides on a frictionless surface? (Note: You must use conservation of momentum in this problem.) marrow_forward7. Two masses, m1 = 2 kg and m2 = 8 kg, are pressed onto identical springs (k = 2 × 104 N/m) so that the springs are each compressed by 10 cm. The masses are then released; they slide towards each other on a frictionless table and undergo an elastic collision. Find the speed of each mass before the collision. Find the speed of each mass after the collision. After the collision, m1 will rebound to the left and hit the spring again. How far will the spring compress before it momentarily comes to rest? m2 m,arrow_forwardMickey, a daredevil mouse of mass 0.0201 kg,0.0201 kg, is attempting to become the world's first "mouse cannonball."
