Chapter , Problem 34

(choose chapter or problem)

In Fig. 15-41, block 2 of mass 2.0 kg oscillates on the end of a spring in SHM with a period of 20 ms. The blocks position is given by x $ (1.0 cm) cos(vt % p/2). Block 1 of mass 4.0 kg slides toward block 2 with a velocity of magnitude 6.0 m/s, directed along the springs length. The two blocks undergo a completely inelastic collision at time t $ 5.0 ms. (The duration of the collision is much less than the period of motion.) What is the amplitude of the SHM after the collision?
