Answer to Question #59435 in Mechanics | Relativity for Ahmed

Question

Blocks A (mass 3.00 kg ) and B (mass 14.00 kg , to the right of A) move on a frictionless, horizontal surface. Initially, block B is moving to the left at 0.500 m/s and block A is moving to the right at 2.00 m/s. The blocks are equipped with ideal spring bumpers. The collision is headon, so all motion before and after it is along a straight line. Let +x be the direction of the initial motion of A. The questions Part A Find the maximum energy stored in the spring bumpers. Uspringmax = Part B Find the velocity of block A when the energy stored in the spring bumpers is maximum. . vA = Part C Find the velocity of block B when the energy stored in the spring bumpers is maximum. vB = Part D Find the velocity of block A after the blocks have moved apart. vA = Part E Find the velocity of block B after the blocks have moved apart. . vB = need units
