a 0.60kg cart is attatched to the end of a horizontal spring and is moving in simple harmonic motion with amplitude 0.45m on a frictionless surface. as the cart passes through its equillibrium position, a 0.12kg mads is dropped onto the cart from a short height and starts to move together with the cart. the spring constant is 2.3 N/m. A) find the velocity of the cart alone at the equillibrium position before the mass is added. B) find the velocity of the cart after the mass is added to the cart at the equillibrium position. C) find the new amplitude of the motion of the cart after the mass is added to the cart.

Expert Solution

Here we apply concept of simple harmonic motion and energy conservation as well as concept of inelastic collision.

A spring of spring constant k sits on a frictionless horizontal surface, one end of the spring is attached to a wall, the other end to a block of mass M, also resting on the frictionless surface. The system executes simple harmonic motion such that at a given point the mass is -1/6 of the amplitude moving away from equilibrium, and 0.5 seconds later it has 1/7 of the maximum speeds, moving towards equilibrium, having passed equilibrium once. 1) How...
