If I push a ball on a string till this is completely compressed, How long will the ball and the spring remain in contact after relasing?.
This is my complete question.
I've been wondering on this topic for quite a while.
I really can't visualize what happens at the border between the spring and the ball when we release the potential energy stored in the compressed spring.
I would like to know how long would the contact beììtween the spring and the ball last. How long will the restoring force of the spring be exerted on the ball?
I imagine a fricitonless floor and an elastic collision (push).
