How much energy is stored in the spring bumper

Reference no: EM13563356

Two air carts of mass m1=.84 kg and m2=.42 kgare placed on a frictionless track. Cart 1 is at restinitally, and has a spring bumper with a force constant of 610 N/m.Cart 2 has no bumpers, and moves toward the bumper of thestationary cart with an initial speed v=.68 m/s.

(a) What is thespeed of the two carts at the moment when their speeds are equal?

(b) How much energy is stored in the spring bumper when the cartshave the same speed?
