Problem 1 An object with m1 = 5kg is attached to a spring of negligible mass. This mass/spring combination is then slid horizont
ally on a frictionless surface with a velocity of 5 m/s towards a stationary object with m2 = 6kg. Upon impact, the spring compresses, then we examine two cases. First, find the velocities of the two objects assuming the spring completely relaxes again after the interaction. Second, assume that m2, after they separate, slides up a frictionless incline. (a)What is the relative speed of the masses when the spring is maximally compressed?

Answer: the image distance is -18, 28 cm this means behind of the concave mirror. The image size is 2.2 higher that the original so it has 8.8 cm with the same orientation as original and it is a virtual imagen.
Explanation: In order to sove the imagen formation for a concave mirror we have to use the following equation:
1/p+1/q=1/f where p and q represents the distance to the mirror for the object and imagen, respectively. f is the focal length for the concave mirror.
replacing the values we obtain:
1/8.3+1/q=1/15.2
so 1/q=(1/15.2)-(1/8.3)=-54.7*10^-3
then q=-18.28 cm
The magnification is given by M=-q/p=-(-18,28)/8.3= 2.2
We also add a picture to see the imagen formation for this case.
