Prob 1.

The 20-lb cart B is supported on rollers of negligible vA1 = 10 m/s, →

size. If a 10-lb suitcase A is thrown horizontal on it at 8 ft/s,
determine the time before A stops relative to B. The
coefficient of kinetic friction between A and B is μk = 0.4.

Prob. 2. A 1-lb ball hits a 3-lb block with the velocity shown.
The block then slides along the floor and compresses an
undeformed spring which has a spring constant of k = 50
lb/ft. Determine the maximum compression of the spring.
The coefficient of friction between the block and the floor is
μk = 0.1. The coefficient of restitution between the ball and

Prob. 5. Block A (1 kg), attached to a spring with an
undeformed length of 2m, slides up the inclined plane after
being released from rest. It then collides with a stationary
block B (1 kg) which then moves up at a distance d before
returning to rest. The coefficient of restitution for the impact
is e = 0.8. The friction between the plane and block A is
negligible but the coefficient of kinetic friction between block
B and the inclined plane is μk = 0.4. Determine the maximum
value of distance d.
