Blocks a (mass 4.50 kg) and b (mass 8.50 kg) move on a frictionless, horizontal surface. initially, block b is at rest and block a is moving toward it at 3.00 m/s. the blocks are equipped with ideal spring bumpers. the collision is head-on, so all motion before and after the collision is along a straight line. let +x be the direction of the initial motion of block a.
a) find the velocity of block a when the energy stored in the spring bumpers is maximum.
b) find the velocity of block a when the energy stored in the spring bumpers is maximum.
c) find the velocity of block b when the energy stored in the spring bumpers is maximum.
d) find the velocity of block a after they have moved apart.
e) find the velocity of block b after they have moved apart.

An electron and a proton have the same kinetic energy upon entering a region of constant magnetic field and their velocity vectors are perpendicular to the magnetic field. suppose the magnetic field is strong enough to allow the particles to circle in the field. note: you'll need to look up the masses for an electron and proton. 1) what is the ratio of the radii of their circular paths rp/re?
