Answer:
Al's mass is 102.92 kg
Explanation:
As there are no external forces in the horizontal direction, the horizontal net force must be zero:
As the force is the derivative in time of the momentum, this means that the horizontal momentum is constant:

where the suffix i and f means initial and final respectively.
The initial momentum will be:

But, as they are at rest, initially


So, this means:

We know that the have an combined mass of 195 kg:
.
so:
.





Now, we can use the values:


where the minus sign appears as they are moving at opposite directions


and this is the Al's mass.
Answer:
Red
Explanation:
I looked at the picture...where it says red is 700
Answer:
4. both blocks will both have the same amount of kinetic energy.
Explanation:
When the blocks are released free from the compression force, the spring exerts equal and opposite force on each block but the block with heavier (double) mass will attain slower ( half ) speed as compared to the lighter block according to the law of inertia. This works in synchronization to energy conservation.
Spring force is given as:

where:
length of compression in the spring
<u>We know kinetic energy is given by:</u>

Hence the kinetic energy of both the blocks is equal when they are released to move free.
