An object of mass m1 approaches with velocity v1 another object of mass m2, which is at rest, next to a spring having force constant k. The spring is fixed to a wall and m2 can compress the spring. This is one-dim horizontal collision without friction. We consider two collision scenarios, one which is perfectly inelastic, and the other which is elastic. (a) In the first collision case the object m1 strikes m2 and sticks. Moving together, they compress the...

An object is initially traveling at a velocity of 12 m/s. It then begins to change it’s velocity according to the function ?=2.5?+3? v = 2 . 5 s + 3 a , where v is the velocity of the object, s is the objects position, and a is the acceleration. Determine the velocity of the object 30 meters after the velocity begins to change. (17.5 m/s)
