Question

Greater than, Equal to, Less than

The speed of M1 is ... the speed of M2 once they both lose contact with the spring.
The force exerted by the spring on M2 is ... the force it exerts on M1.
The momentum of M1 is ... the momentum of M2 once they both lose contact with the spring.
The final height up the ramp reached by M2 is ... the height reached by M1.
The duration of the force exerted by the spring on M1 is ... the time the force acts on M2.
The kinetic energy of M2 is ... 'the kinetic energy of M1 once they both lose contact with the spring.

Explanation / Answer

The mass m2 is greater than m1,

The speed of m1 is greater than the speed of m2 once they both lose contact with the spring.

The force exerted by the spring on m2 is equal to the force it exerts on m1.

The momentum of M1 is equal to the momentum of M2 once they both lose contact with the spring.

The final height up the ramp reached by M2 is less than the height reached by M1.

The duration of the force exerted by the spring on M1 is equal to the time the force acts on M2.

The kinetic energy of M2 is less than the kinetic energy of M1 once they both lose contact with the spring.
