a system of masses m and 2m connected together by a tensionless spring moves with constant v on a frictionless surface. after an elastic collision with a wall what is the maximum compression of the spring observed
Dear Jishal,
Let k be the spring constant and x be the maximum compression.
kinetic energy before collision=potential energy at maximum compression.
mv2+(mv2/2)=(k/2)x2
solve for x

according to work enrgy theorem ΔK.E is associated with the increase in potential energy which lead to the compression in the spring
according to law of conservation of momentum (m+3m)vfinal=-2mv+mv
thus vfinal=v/3
now since it is elastic collision energy conservation too comes under consern
thus change in kinetic energy is the max potential energy stored in the spring.
so,
ΔK.E= 1/2(kx2) i.e final K.e-initial K.E =1/2(3mv2)-1/2(3mvfinal2) ...................>( vfinal = v/3)
so 3mv2/2(1-1/9) = 1/2(kx2)
thus solving for x you ill finally reach the answer x= √2m/√3k
this is the correct answer. ive got it just recently . and i wanted to share it with you
