Problem 3
Two identical 0.1 kg blocks (labeled 1 and 2) were at rest on a nearly frictionless surface, connected by an unstretched spring whose stiffness is 100Nm. Then a constant force of 5 N to the right was applied to block 2, and at a later time the blocks are in the new positions shown in the lower diagram.
(a)At this later time, what is the total energy of the two block system?
(b) What is the translational kinetic energy of the two-block system?
(c) What is the speed of the center of mass of the two-block system?
(d) What is the vibrational kinetic energy of the tw-block system? Note: The spring is now stretched.
