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.

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...
