A spring hangs from the ceiling with an unstretched length of x 0 = 0.35 m . A m 1 = 6.3 kg block is hung from the spring, causi

ng the spring to stretch to a length x 1 = 0.50 m . Find the length x 2 of the spring when a m 2 = 3.7 kg block is hung from the spring. For both cases, all vibrations of the spring are allowed to settle down before any measurements are made.

Answer:

x₂=0.44m

Explanation:

First, we calculate the length the spring is stretch when the first block is hung from it:

\Delta x_1=0.50m-0.35m=0.15m

Now, since the stretched spring is in equilibrium, we have that the spring restoring force must be equal to the weight of the block:

k\Delta x_1=m_1g

Solving for the spring constant k, we get:

k=\frac{m_1g}{\Delta x_1}\\\\k=\frac{(6.3kg)(9.8m/s^{2})}{0.15m}=410\frac{N}{m}

Next, we use the same relationship, but for the second block, to find the value of the stretched length:

k\Delta x_2=m_2g\\\\\Delta x_2=\frac{m_2g}{k}\\\\\implies \Delta x_2=\frac{(3.7kg)(9.8m/s^{2})}{410N/m}=0.088m

Finally, we sum this to the unstretched length to obtain the length of the spring:

x_2=0.35m+0.088m=0.44m

In words, the length of the spring when the second block is hung from it, is 0.44m.

If a car crashes into another car like this, the wreck should go nowhere. Besides this being an unrealistic question, the physics of it would look like this:

Momentum before and after the collision is conserved.

Momentum before the collision:
p = m * v = 50000kg * 24m/s + 55000kg * 0m/s = 50000kg * 24m/s
Momentum after the collision:
p = m * v = (50000kg + 55000kg) * v

Setting both momenta equal:
50000kg * 24m/s = (50000kg + 55000kg) * v

Solving for the velocity v:
v = 50000kg * 24m/s/(50000kg + 55000kg) = 11,43m/s
