Block A of mass 4.0 kg is on a horizontal, frictionless. ta spring of ess tabletop and.is placed against a spring of i650 Nim. The other end of the spring is attached to a wall. The block is released and follows the trajectory shown, falling 0.80 m vertically and striking a target on the ‘loor that is a horizontal distance of 1.2 m from the edge of the table. Air resistance is negligible. (a) Calculate the time elapsed from the instant block A leaves the table to the instant it strikes the floor. (3 marks) Recs of the motion nn i !

The spring is again compressed @ distance x, and block A is released. As it nears the end ofthe table, it instantaneously collides with and sticks to block B.

The carts can travel along a straight horizontal track. Cart A has known mass m,. The students are asked to use a one dimensional collision between the carts to determine the mass of cart B. Before the collision, cart A travels to the right and cart B is initially at rest, as shown above, After the collision, the carts sti together. (@) Describe an experimental procedure to determine the velocities of the carts before and after a collision, including all the additional equipment you would need, You may include a labeled diagram of your setup to help in your description. Indicate what measurements you would take and how you would take them. Include enough detail so that another student could carry out your procedure. (3 marks) 4) Pad meter sigh persia orth cash.

For your experimental procedure, will the uncertainty in the calculated value of the mass of cart B be affected more by the error in the measurements taken before the collision or by those taken after the collision, or will it be equally affected by both sets of measurements? Justify your answer. (2 marks) “Boise
