A mine car (mass = 440 kg) rolls at a speed of 0.50 m/s on a horizontal track, as the drawing shows. A 200−kg chunk of coal has a speed of 0.98 m/s when it leaves the chute. Determine the speed of the car-coal system after the coal has come to rest in the car.

A 1.40−kg object slides to the right on a surface having a coefficient of kinetic friction 0.250 (Figure a). The object has a speed of v1 = 3.30 m/s when it makes contact with a light spring (Figure b) that has a force constant of 50.0 N/m. The object comes to rest after the spring has been compressed a distance d (Figure c). The object is then forced toward the left by the spring (Figure d) and continues to move in that direction beyond the spring's unstretched position. Finally, the object comes to rest a distance D to the left of the unstretched spring (Figure e). (a) Find the distance of compression d (in m). m (b) Find the speed v (in m/s) at the unstretched position when the object is moving to the left (Figure d). m/s (c) Find the distance D (in m) where the object comes to rest. m (d) What If? If the object becomes attached securely to the end of the spring when it makes contact, what is the new value of the distance D (in m) at which the object will come to rest after moving to the left? m

A 1.40 kg object slides to the right on a surface having a coefficient of kinetic friction 0.250 (Fig. P7.54). The object has a speed of vi = 2.80 m/s when it makes contact with a light spring that has a force constant of 50.0 N/m. The object comes to rest after the spring has been compressed a distance d. The object is then forced toward the left by the spring and continues to move in that direction beyond the spring's unstretched position. The object finally comes to rest a distance D to the left of the unstretched spring. Figure P7.54 (a) Find the distance of compression d. m (b) Find the speed v at the unstretched position when the object is moving to the left. m/s (c) Find the distance D where the object comes to rest. m
