In the figure, block A (mass 1.6 kg) slides into block B (mass 2.4 kg), along a frictionless surface. The directions of velocities before and after the collision are indicated; the corresponding speeds are vAi = 5.4 m/s, vBi = 2.0 m/s, and vBf = 4.5 m/s. What is velocity vAf (including sign, where positive denotes motion to the right)? Number Units the tolerance is +/−1 in the 2 nd significant digit

A 4.41-g bullet is moving horizontally with a velocity of +354 m/s, where the sign + indicates that it is moving to the right (see part a of the drawing). The bullet is approaching two blocks resting on a horizontal frictionless surface. Air resistance is negligible. The bullet passes completely through the first block (an inelastic collision) and embeds itself in the second one, as indicated in part b. Note that both blocks are moving after the collision with the bullet. The mass of the first block is 1199 g, and its velocity is +0.644 m/s after the bullet passes through it. The mass of the second block is 1576 g . (a) What is the velocity of the second block after the bullet imbeds itself? (b) Find the ratio of the total kinetic energy after the collision to that before the collision. (a) Before collision (b) After collision (a) vblock2 = Number Units (b) KEafter/KEbefore = Number Units

In the figure, block 2 (mass 1.70 kg ) is at rest on a frictionless surface and touching the end of an unstretched spring of spring constant 294 N/m. The other end of the spring is fixed to a wall. Block 1 (mass 1.10 kg ), traveling at speed v1 = 5.70 m/s, collides with block 2, and the two blocks stick together. When the blocks momentarily stop, by what distance is the spring compressed?
