Step 1
- Mass of Skater A, \( m_A = 65 \, \text{kg} \) - Mass of Skater B, \( m_B = 72 \, \text{kg} \) - Acceleration of Skater A, \( a_A = 1.6 \, \text{m/s}^2 \) [S] Show more…

A block of mass mA = 2 kg is attached to a spring with a force constant of k = 80 N/m and placed on a horizontal frictionless surface (gray block in the figure below). The block is made to oscillate such that the distance between points when the spring is most compressed and most relaxed is 0.8 meters (the range of motion). At time t = 0, the block is in its position furthest to the left, where the spring is maximally compressed. Answer the following questions: a) (3 points) Write the equation for the horizontal displacement from equilibrium x(t) in the form of x(t) = A cos(wt + phi). That is to say, determine the parameters A, w, phi in the expression. b) (7 points) At the instant when block mA is passing through the equilibrium position, a second block mB = 3 kg (green block in the figure) falls on top the first block. The two blocks stick together and the oscillating motion continues uninterrupted. What is the new amplitude A2 of oscillation of the mass of the two blocks combined? c) (4 points) How much time does the new two-block system need to move from the point where the spring is most stretched to the equilibrium point? Give your answer in seconds.

Two ice skaters push off of each other. The left skater has a mass of 50 kg and the force of friction between him and the ice is 9.8 N. The right skater has a mass of 40 kg and the force of friction between her and the ice is 7.84 N. The skater on the right accelerates backwards with an acceleration of 0.5 m/s2. With how much force did the right skater push off of the left skater? What is the acceleration of the skater to the left?

Two ice skaters suddenly push off against one another starting from a stationary position. The 45 kg skater acquires a speed of 0.275 m/s relative to the ice. What speed does the 60 kg acquire relative to the ice?
