Document Summary
The force is in units of newtons and the positions are measured in meters. The mass is pulled to the right a distance x = 0. 2 m and then released. What is the total mechanical energy of the spring-mass system when the mass reaches x = 0. 1 m. (a) zero (b) 1 j (c) 4 j (d) 7 j (e) 9. 8 j: show your work on this problem. A mass m is attached to a massless rod of length l, which can pivot about one end so as to rotate in a vertical circle, as shown below. The mass is given an intial velocity vo. A 150 kg defensive lineman runs at 5. 0 m/s along the platform (parallel to the track) and then jumps onto the flatcar. The other end of the spring is fixed to a wall. Block 1 (mass 2. 5 kg), traveling at speed v1 = 4. 0 m/s, undergoes a completely elastic collision with block 2.
