Question �Fy = n - mg cos 37.0�= 0

\ n = mg cos 37.0�= 400 N
f = m n = 0.250 ( 400 N ) = 100 N
- f Dx = DEmech
( -100) ( 20.0) = DU A + DUB + DK A + DKB

( )
DU A = mA g h f - h = ( 50.0) ( 9.80) ( 20.0 sin 37.0�
) = 5.90 �10 3
( )
DU B = mB g h f - h = ( 100) ( 9.80) ( -20.0) = -1.96 �10 4

Question 6 Choose the zero point of gravitational potential energy of the object-spring-
Earth system as the configuration in which the object comes to rest. Then because the
incline is frictionless, we have EB = EA :

K B + U gB + U sB = K A + U gA + U sA

or 0 + mg ( d + x ) sin q + 0 = 0 + 0 + kx .

kx 2
Solving for d gives d= -x .
2mg sin q

Question 7 The initial momentum of the system is 0. Thus,

( 1.20m) vBi = m ( 10.0 m s)

and vBi = 8.33 m s

Ki =

(
m ( 10.0 m s ) + ( 1.20 m) ( 8.33 m s ) = m 183 m 2 s 2

2 �2
(
K f = m ( vG ) + ( 1.20m) ( vB ) = � m 183 m 2 s 2 �
2 �
� )
or vG2 + 1.20vB2 = 91.7 m 2 s 2 (1)

From conservation of momentum,

mvG = ( 1.20m) vB

or vG = 1.20vB (2)

Solving (1) and (2) simultaneously, we find

vG = 7.07 m s (speed of green puck after collision)

and vB = 5.89 m s (speed of blue puck after collision)
