- Homework Statement
- Top view of the train shown a rotating pair of mass m1 and m2 attached to a slinky. The train is moving north with constant speed v. At 0 degree, m1 is released from the slinky and move north to hit the train inelasticly. The slinky is fully contract when the system rotate 180 degrees. During this time, m2 continue to go in circle until 180 degrees. m2 is then released from the slinky and move north to hit the train. Determine the final speed of the train:
A) speed up
B) slow down
C) remain the same
- Relevant Equations
- F = dv/dt
A, the train speed up?
