(A) The elastic energy stored in the compressed spring is 108.36 J.

(B) The speed of the 6 kg block just before it collides with the 3 kg block is 6.29 m/s.

(D) The distance covered by each block before coming to rest is 2.98 m

Given data:

Value of force constant is, $k=602 \;\rm N/m$ .

Mass of block 1 is, $m_{1}=6 \;\rm kg$ .

Mass of block 2 is, $m_{2}=3 \;\rm kg$ .

Spring compression distance is, $x=0.6 \;\rm m$ .

Gravitational acceleration is, $g = 9.8 \;\rm m/s^{2}$ .

Coefficient of friction between each block and the surface is, $\mu=0.3$ .

(A)

The elastic energy (U) stored in the compressed spring is,

$U=\dfrac{1}{2}kx^{2}\\U=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 602\times 0.6^{2}\\U=108.36 \;\rm J$

Thus, the elastic energy stored in the compressed spring is 108.36 J.

(B)

Apply the Work-energy concept as,

Work done by frictional force = Kinetic energy + Elastic energy

$W =KE -U\\f \times x= \dfrac{1}{2}m_{1}v^{2}-U\\(\mu \times m_{1} \times g) \times x= \dfrac{1}{2}m_{1}v^{2}-U \\(0.3 \times 6 \times 9.8) \times 0.6= \dfrac{1}{2} \times 6 \times v^{2}-108.36\\\\v^{2}=\dfrac{(0.3 \times 6 \times 9.8 \times 0.6)+108.36}{3}\\v=6.29 \;\rm m/s$

Thus, the speed of the 6 kg block just before it collides with the 3 kg block is 6.29 m/s.

(C)

Apply the conservation of linear momentum as,

Initial momentum = Final momentum

$m_{1}v+m_{2}v'=(m_{1}+m_{2})V\\$

Here, v' is the initial speed of 3 kg block, which was at rest. So, v'=0.

And V is the final speed of both blocks after the collision.

Solving as,

$6 \times 6.29 +3 \times 0=(6+3)V\\V = \dfrac{ 6 \times 6.29}{9} \\V=4.19 \;\rm m/s$

Thus, the speed of each block after the collision is 4.19 m/s.

(D)

Again use the Work energy theorem to obtain the distance (s) covered by each block before coming to rest as,

Work done by frictional force = Kinetic energy of both blocks

$W = KE_{net}\\f \times s = \dfrac{1}{2}(m_{1}+m_{2})V^{2}\\\mu \times (m_{1}+m_{2}) \times g \times s = \dfrac{1}{2}(m_{1}+m_{2})V^{2} \\\mu \times g \times s = \dfrac{1}{2} \times V^{2}\\0.3 \times 9.8 \times s = \dfrac{1}{2} \times 4,19^{2}\\s = 2.98 \;\rm m$

Thus, the distance covered by each block before coming to rest is 2.98 m.

Answer from: chicapunk1736

A) Ke = 108 J , B) v = 10.24 m/s , C) v₂ = 6.83 m/s and D) $x_{f}$ = 7.93 m

Explanation:

rA) let's use the elastic energy equation

Ke = ½ k x²

Let's calculate

Ke = ½ 602 0.6²

Ke = 108 J

r.b) in this case the surface has friction, so it performs a work that opposes the movement and must be equal to the variation of the mechanical energy. Let's write the mechanical energy in two points

initial maximum compression

Em₀ = Ke = ½ k x²

final. just when you touch the small block; at this point the elongation of the zero spring (x = 0)

$Em_{f}$ = K = ½ m v²

How is friction force

$W_{fr}$ = ΔDEm = $Em_{f}$ - Em₀

-fr x = ½ m v² - ½ k x²

Let's use Newton's second law to find the force of friction

fr = μ N

Equation on the y axis

N- W = 0

N = mg

fr = μ m g

Let's replace in the equation of work and energy

- (μ mg) x = ½ m v² - ½ k x²

Calculation of the speed of the large block

v² = (½ k x² - μ mg x) 2/m

v = √ (k / m x² - 2 μ g x)

v = √ (602/6 0.6² - 2 0.3 9.8 0.6) = √ (108.36 -3.53)

v = 10.24 m/s

rC) For this part we use the conservation of the moment, here we must define a system formed by the two bodies, for this system the forces during the internal crash, so that the moment is conserved

m₁ = 6 kg

m₂ = 3 kg

before the crash

p₀ = m₁ v + 0

After the crash, before starting to move

$p_{f}$ = (m₁ + m₂) v²

p₀ = $p_{f}$

m₁ v = (m₁ + m₂) v₂

v₂ = v m₁ / (m₁ + m₂)

v₂ = 10.24 6 / (6 +3)

v₂ = 6.83 m / s

This is the speed of the two blocks together

rD) Here again we use energy conservation

starting point

Just when the blocks already collided and have the speed v2, but they have not begun to move

Em₂ = K = ½ (m₁ + m₂) v₂²

final point when the blocks stop

Em₃ = 0

Let's write the work and energy equation

$W_{fr}$ = ΔDEm = Em₃ -Em₂

-fr $x_{f}$ = 0 - ½ (m₁ + m₂) v₂²

We use the friction force equation of the above

-μ (m₁ + m₂) g xf = - ½ (m₁ + m₂) v₂²

$x_{f}$ = ½ v₂² / μ g

$x_{f}$ = ½ 6.83² / (0.3 9.8)

$x_{f}$ = 7.93 m
