[QUOTE="Zamarripa, post: 6190540, member: 511504"] [B]Homework Statement:[/B] Two masses m1 and m2 are at rest and joined by a spring of length l = 0.5m, as shown in the figure. There is no friction with the surface. In a given moment, an impulse with velocity v0 = 0.2m /s is given to the mass m1 only. [B]Relevant Equations:[/B] Calculate the velocity of the center of mass immediately after m1 has moved Calculate the position of the center of mass after a time t = 4.0s I want to know if my solution is correct: The velocity of the center of mass immidiately after m1 has moved is just v[SUB]cm[/SUB]=m[SUB]1[/SUB]v[SUB]1[/SUB] /(m1+m2) I thing that i have to consider the spring and the m2 [/QUOTE]
