Blocks A (mass 3.50 kg ) and B (mass 8.00 kg ) move on a frictionless, horizontal surface. Initially, block B is at rest and block A is moving toward it at 2.00 m/s . The blocks are equipped with ideal spring bumpers. The collision is head-on, so all motion before and after the collision is along a straight line. Let +x be the direction of the initial motion of block A.
Find the maximum energy stored in the spring bumpers.
Find the velocity of block A when the energy stored in the spring bumpers is maximum.
Find the velocity of block B when the energy stored in the spring bumpers is maximum.
Find the velocity of block A after they have moved apart.
Find the velocity of B after they have moved apart.

Circular Motion, Kinetic Energy, Work and Power
Wind energy is the fastest growing renewable energy source, the US has a goal of producing 20 percent of it’s electricity from wind by 2030. All of our energy options come with a set of pros and cons of varying degrees. One concern, which is minor unless it lands on your house, with wind turbines is ice throw off from the tips of the blade. Consider a 50 meter radius wind turbine (about 3 MW) rotating clockwise 15 times a minute with a hub height of 150 meters. Calculate the following for a 100 kg piece of ice at the tip of the turbine blade (r=50m):
a) The angular velocity of the rotating blades in radians per second, the period, or time it takes for a rotor blade to make one revolution and the frequency, or number of rotations made in one second.
b) The magnitude of the force required at the top circular path to keep the piece of ice in circular motion.
c) The magnitude of the force required at the bottom of the circular path to keep the piece of ice in circular motion.
d) The range or distance the piece of ice would travel if it was released at the highest point in the rotation. Consider clockwise rotation so the ice lands in the positive x direction.
e) The kinetic energy of the piece of ice upon release.
f) The kinetic energy of the piece of ice upon landing.
g) The work done by the gravitational force from release to landing.
h) Is this the maximum range? Is this the most likely point of release? Briefly explain your reasoning.

A 1.6 kg breadbox on a frictionless incline of angle ? = 38 ? is connected, by a cord that runs over a pulley, to a light spring of spring constant k = 100 N/m, as shown in the figure. The box is released from rest when the spring is unstretched. Assume that the pulley is massless and frictionless. (a) What is the speed of the box when it has moved 10.6 cm down the incline? (b) How far down the incline from its point of release does the box slide before momentarily stopping, and what are the (c) magnitude and (d)direction of the box's acceleration at the instant the box momentarily stops?

I require a software to simulate Fluid simulation with the capability of supporting vacuum simulation. My requirements are that all numbers must reflect their real counterparts almost exactly. For example I need to mix Fluid, Air and Vacuum.
I have tried RealFlow but it doesn't support Vacuum.
Any body knows any software for this?
