Question
A block A, of mass m = 10 Kg, compresses a spring of constant K = 1000 N / m in a length x = 3 cm. Starting from rest, the block is released, which moves from that moment on a horizontal surface without friction until it collides with another block B of mass m = 40 Kg, which was at rest. (Perfectly inelastic shock) and together they go up the channel (inclined surface) without friction, to later continue along a second horizontal plane without friction, at a height h with respect to the first (see Figure). Determine the energy variation that occurs in the collision .

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.

- An ideal spring is attached to the ceiling. While the spring is held at its relaxed length, a wooden block (M = 850 g) is attached to the bottom of the spring, and a ball of clay (m = 210 g) is pressed onto the bottom of the block so that they stick together. The block+clay are gently lowered through a distance of d = 2.7 cm and are then released, at which point they hang motionlessly from the bottom of the spring. After a few minutes have passed, the clay unsticks itself from the block and falls from rest to the ground. 1.

Assuming that the spring then pushes the mass across the surface, with speed does the mass leave the spring? Assume proper SI Units.arrow_forwardA block of mass M = 8 kg rests on a horizontal frictionless floor, and is connected to a vertical wall by a spring of force constant k = 200 N/m. When the spring is in its equilibrium position (neither stretched nor compressed), the block just touches a second lighter block of mass m = 4 kg at rest on the frictionless floor. The spring with mass M attached is now compressed by 0.1 m and released. The two blocks undergo a completely inelastic collision, i.e., they stick together after collision. Draw a diagram and define all relevant variables. Just before the collision, what is the velocity of mass MT Just after the collision, what is the common velocity of the two blocks?
