Transcribed Image Text:

A block of mass M = 4.0 kg moves without friction in the +x direction with velocity v₂ = 1.25. At the origin, the block splits into a segment of mass m₁ = 1.0 kg and a segment of mass m = 3.0 kg, with m, being propelled forward with speed v, in the +x direction; m, is at rest following the split. a. (4) Calculate v₁. b. (4) If the splitting process duration At = 0.030 s, determine the average force Fa exerted on m A block of mass M = 4.0 kg moves without friction in the +x direction with velocity v₂ = 1.25.
