A horizontal spring (with spring constant 180 N/m) is attached to the wall at the left, and a 15 Kg block on the right at rest. There is no friction. A 10 Kg block has a speed 8 m/s approaching the 15 Kg block. The 10 Kg block collides with the 15 Kg block and the blocks stick together. After the collision, the two blocks remain stuck together and oscillate back and forth as simple harmonic motion. Calculate the maximum compression of the spring. 1.2 m 1.4 m 1.8 m 3.2 m 3.0 m

1D vertical spring A vertical spring with force constant 180 N/m is compressed by an attached 15 Kg block at rest. At 2.5 m above the 15 Kg block, a 10 Kg block is released from rest. The 10 Kg block falls 2.5 meters and collides with the 15 Kg block, and the collision is completed inelastic (the blocks stick together). The combined 25 Kg will move, compressing the spring more. Calculate how far down the 15 Kg block goes (the maximum magnitude of the downward displacement of the 15 Kg block from the initial position). Type your answer.

Starting from rest, a small block of mass m = 0.25 kg slides down an incline from a height h = 1.2 m. As it slides down, the block experiences a force of kinetic friction of constant magnitude fk = 2.1 N only over a distance L = 0.2 m, as shown in the figure. The incline is frictionless everywhere else. After reaching the bottom of the incline, the block strikes a larger block of mass M = 1.8 kg that is attached to a spring of spring constant k = 6.5 N/m. The large block was originally at rest. The blocks stick together upon impact and travel together on the frictionless horizontal surface. Assume that both blocks are subject to the regular force of gravity (g = 9.80665 m/s2). (a) Determine the speed of the small block right before it collides with the larger block. Answer: m/s (b) Determine the speed of the combination of the two blocks immediately after the collision. Answer: m/s (c) Determine the compression of the spring when the combination of the two blocks comes to rest. Answer: m

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
