OK, getting nowhere quick, subject is now closed.

I do think it makes a difference which is why I stated in my original problem that during my RK4 analysis I assumed a high K value for the stiffness of the materials.

As I said in my original post I cannot use constant acceleration of impact time. I need to claculte it on a dynamic basis.

What other data would you like?

OK. I don't want a numerical answer, I would like a methodology. Basically it is an impact related question where the two masses combine. How do you calculate the acceleration of the second 50 gram mass?

Hi, I am working on a problem that involves the following I have a mass of 500 grams traveling at 7m/s that hits and sticks to another mass of 50 grams that was stationary. What acceleration does the second ( 50 gram ) mass experience? I have tried using a Runge-Kutta 4th order algorithm...
