A Two-Body Collision with a Spring A block of mass m,-1.9 kg initially moving to the right with a speed of 3.2 m/s on a frictionless, horizontal track collides with a spring attached to a second block of mass m2 - 3.9 kg initially moving to the left with a speed of 1.8 m/s as shown in figure (a). The spring constant is 505 N/m in A moving block collides with another moving block with a spring attached: (a) before...
(a) An elevator of mass m moving upward has two forces acting on it: the upward force of tension in the cable and the downward force due to gravity. When the elevator is accelerating upward, which is greater, T or w? Tw Both forces are equal. (b) When the elevator is moving at a constant velocity upward, which is greater, T or w? Tw Both forces are equal. (c) When the elevator is moving upward, but the acceleration is downward, which is...

Sphere A, of mass 0.600 kg, is initially moving to the right at 4.00 m/s. Sphere B, of mass 1.80 kg, is initially to the right of sphere A and moving to the right at 2.00 m/s. After the two spheres collide, sphere B is moving at 3.00 m/s in the same direction as before. (a) What is the velocity (magnitude and direction) of sphere A after this collision? (b) Is this collision elastic or inelastic? (c) Sphere B then...
