Randall D. Knight β Impulse and Momentum: Problem 65
One end of a massless, 30-cm-long spring with spring constant 15 N/m is attached to a 250 g stationary air-track glider; the other end is attached to the track. A 500 g glider hits and sticks to the 250 g glider, compressing the spring to a minimum length of 22 cm. What was the speed of the 500 g glider just before impact?
π Solution Approach
Given: 15 N, 250 g, . A, 500 g, 22 cm
