A 3.0-kg block slides along a frictionless tabletop at8.0
Chapter 9, Problem 9.41(choose chapter or problem)
A 3.0-kg block slides along a frictionless tabletop at8.0 m/s toward a second block (at rest) of mass 4.5 kg. Acoil spring, which obeys Hookes law and has springconstant k = 850 N/m, is attached to the second block insuch a way that it will be compressed when struck by themoving block, Fig. 9-40. (a) What will be the maximumcompression of the spring? (b) What will be the final velocitiesof the blocks after the collision? (c) Is the collision elastic?Ignore the mass of the spring.FIGURE 9-40 41.
