A cart of mass 5 kg is held on the ramp at a height of 1.8 m. Another cart of mass 5 kg is on a frictionless surface sitting next to a spring with spring constant 110 N/m. At some instant, the first cart starts sliding down and hits the second cart. If the collision between the carts is elastic in nature, find the compression in the spring caused by the second cart.

Consider a frictionless track as shown in the figure below. A block of mass m1 = 2.00 kg is released from point (A) from a height of h = 1.15 m. It makes a perfectly inelastic collision at point (B) with a block of mass m2 = 2.00 kg that is initially at rest. After the collision, the block of mass m2 moves to the right and collides with a spring at point ( C . The spring is attached to a wall and has a spring constant of 8.59 kN/m. (a) Calculate the energy loss during the collision. Enter the magnitude. J (b) Calculate the maximum compression of the spring. cm (c) Instead of an inelastic collision, consider a head-on elastic collision at point B. During this specific elastic collision when the masses are equal, m1 transfers its kinetic energy to m2 and as a result, m1 comes to rest. Calculate the maximum compression of the spring. cm

Ball A(m = 0.5 kg, I = 0.7 MR2) is held at rest against a spring, compressed by a distance x = 40 cm. The ball is released and move along a frictionless surface (H0 = 4 m) until it collides with ball B(m = 0.25 kg, I = 0.5 MR2 ) which is at rest. After the collision, the two balls roll down a track (which has friction!) and leaves the track at a height, H1 = 1 m. Ball B goes to a height of HB = 5 m before it comes to rest and ball A goes a height of HA = 3 m before it stops. Find the spring constant, k, of the spring.

A small toy car of mass m = 0.05 kg is placed on a rough surface and compressed against a spring with spring constant k = 20 N/m. The equilibrium length of the spring is x0 = 0.25 m, and it is compressed to a length of x1 = 0.1 m. After the car is released, the magnitude of kinetic friction between the car and the spring is f = 1 N. When the spring extends back to a length of x2 = 0.2 m, what is the magnitude of the toy car's velocity? Pick the correct answer v = 2 m/s v = 0 m/s v = 3.46 m/s v = 2.8 m/s v = 2.24 m/sA small toy car of mass m = 0.05 kg is placed on a rough surface and compressed against a spring with spring constant k = 20 N/m.
