Find the positions of two masses at any subsequent time t

Reference no: EM13535762

Two particles of masses m1 and m2 are joined by a massless spring of natural length L and force constant k. Initially, m2 is resting on a table and I am holding m1 vertically above m2 at a height L. At time t=0, I project m1 vertically upward with initial velocity v0. Find the positions of the two masses at any subsequent time t (before either mass returns to the table).

What is the limiting temperature of the mixture : An air parcel occupied by an ideal gas (T1 = 255 K, V1 = 1500 m3, m1 = 1680 kg) collides and mixes with a second air parcel occupied by a second ideal gas (T2 = 280 K, V2 = 1200m3, m2 = 1392 kg). Assuming the specific heat capacities of the gases in ..
