Two blocks are initially at rest with a compressed spring between them. When the spring is released, the 2m block moves to the l

eft and the m block moves to the right. This represents an inelastic collision in a closed system.
A diagram of two square masses sitting on a flat horizontal surface connected by a spring. The mass on the left is labeled 2 m and the mass on the right is labeled m.
What best describes the blocks after the spring is released?

The total energy is zero.
The total momentum is zero.
The momentum of the m block is zero.
The momentum of the 2m block is zero.

The statement that best describes the blocks after the spring is released is the total momentum is zero.

<h3 /><h3>Law of conservation of momentum</h3>

From the law of conservation of momentum, the initial momentum of the system, M equals the final momentum of the system M'

M = M'

<h3>Momentum of blocks</h3>

Now, since both blocks are initially at rest, the initial momentum M = 0.

Since the initial momentum equals the final momentum after the blocks are released,

M = M' = 0

So, the total momentum after the blocks are released is zero.

So, the statement that best describes the blocks after the spring is released is the total momentum is zero.

horsena [70]

Answer:

33%

Step-by-step explanation:

So you Subtract 20.8 by 15.6 and you get 5.2.

Then you divide 5.2 by 15.6 getting you .33. Then you'll make it into a percentage getting you 33%. This could be wrong but let me know.

I hope this helps! ^^

Hey there! :)

Answer:

y = 11.

Step-by-step explanation:

Set both of the equations equal:

5x - 9 = x² - 3x + 7

Rearrange the equation:

0 = x² - 3x - 5x  + 9  + 7

Combine like terms:

0 = x² - 8x + 16

Factor:

0 = (x -4)²

Solve for x:

0 = x - 4

x = 4.

Plug this into an equation to solve for 'y':

y = 5(4) - 9

y = 20 - 9

y = 11.
