Question

A 800g air-track glider attached to a spring with spring constant 13N/m is sitting at rest on a frictionless air track. A 430g glider is pushed toward it from the far end of the track at a speed of 140cm/s . It collides with and sticks to the 800gglider.

Explanation / Answer

800*140 + 0= (800+800)*v

v = 70 m/s
given K=13

x =compression

0.5*13*x*x = 0.5*800*140*140 - (0.5*1600*70*70)

x = 776.5 m
