Simple Mass-Spring System Problem! A mass M slides across a frictionless horizontal table with constant speed V_0_. It collides with a spring of spring constant k, compressing it. The mass-spring system then rebounds. Take the position of the mass when it first hits the spring to be x=0. a)...

Here is what I got for the accelerations in x and y directions for each box: 40 kg box ax = (323.634 - Tcos\theta) / 40 ay = (560.553 - Tsin\theta) / 40 80 kg box ax =( Tcos\theta + 417.089) / 80 ay = (722.328 + Tsin\theta) / 80 ** Please let me know if I got these values...

Homework Statement Two blocks with masses 4.00 kg and 8.00 kg are connected by a string and slide down a 30.0 degree inclined plane. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the 4.00 kg and plane is .25; that between the 8.00 kg block and the plane is .35. a) Calculate the acceleration...
