A block of mass 76 kg slides along a friction less table with a speed of 50 m/s. Directly in front of it, and moving in the same direction with a speed of 25 m/s, is a block of mass41 kg. A mass less spring with spring constant1474 N/m is attached to the second block.During the collision, the spring is com-pressed by a maximum amount x. What is this maximum compression? Hint: work in an inertial frame in which p1 + p2 = 0 .Answer in units of m.
The blocks will eventually separate again.What is the final velocity of the 76 kg block?Answer in units of m/s.A block of mass 76 kg slides along a friction less table with a speed of 50 m/s.
