A 400 g air-track glider collides with a spring at one end of the track

I have a problem just like it in my physics book, but the mass is different. In my book it is 600 g and the answer is 0.2 s. See attached file for full problem description with diagram and units. A 400 air-track glider collides with a spring at one end of the track. The figure 1 shows the glider's velocity and the for ...continues

(See attached file for full problem description with units) --- On a frictionless horizontal air table, puck A (with mass 0.369 ) is moving toward puck B (with mass 0.249 ), which is initially at rest. After the collision, puck A has velocity 0.116 to the left, and puck B has velocity 0.645 to the right. a.) What wa ...continues

Far in space, where gravity is negligible...

(See attached file for full problem description with units and diagram) --- Far in space, where gravity is negligible, a 475 rocket traveling at 95.0 fires its engines. The figure shows the thrust force as a function of time. The mass lost by the rocket during these 30 s is negligible. (see attacement) a.) Wh ...continues
