Question
A 15-lb block B is at rest and a spring of constant k= 72 lb/in. is held compressed 3 in. by a cord. After 5-lb block A is placed against the end of the spring, the cord is cut causing A and B to move. Neglecting friction, determine the velocities of blocks A and B immediately after A leaves B.

Your solution is to attach a 2.00 kg wood block that rests on a horizontal surface to a light horizontal spring. The other end of the spring is attached to a wall. Initially the spring is at its equilibrium length. A bullet is fired horizontally into the block and remains embedded in it. After the bullet strikes the block, the block compresses the spring a maximum distance d. You have measured that the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the horizontal surface is 0.38. The table below lists some firearms that you will test.

- A spring with a spring constant of k = 192 N/m is initially compressed by a block a distance d = 0.23 m. The block is on a horizontal surface with coefficient of kinetic friction μk, static friction μs, and has a mass of m = 7 kg. How large would the coefficient of static friction μs need to be to keep the block from moving? Recall that to keep the block from moving, the acceleration is zero. Assuming the block has just begun to move and the coefficient of kinetic friction is μk = 0.2, what is the block's acceleration in meters per square second?arrow_forwardAm = 4.4 kg block rests on a horizontal surface with coefficient of frictionµ = 0.102. It is attached to a horizontal spring of (stiffness) spring constant k = 12.2 N/m which is anchored to a wall.

- 7. 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.
