14.8. In a physics lab, you attach a 0.200-kg air-track glider to the end of an ideal spring of negligible mass and start it oscillating. The elapsed time from when the glider first moves through the equilibrium point to the second time it moves through that point is 2.60 s. Find the spring's force constant.

A glider with mass m = 0.200 kg sits on a frictionless horizontal air track connected to a spring with force constant k = 5.00 N/m. You pull on the glider stretching the spring 0.100 m and then release it with no initial velocity. The glider begins to move back toward its equilibrium position (x = 0). What is its x-velocity when x = 0.080 m?

A glider of length 12.4cm moves on an air track with constant acceleration (Fig above). A time interval of 0.628s elapses between the moment when its front end passes a fixed point A along the track and the moment when its back end passes this point. Next, a time interval of 1.39s elapses between the moment when the back end of the glider passes the point A and the moment when the front end of the glider passes a second point B farther down the track. After that, an additional 0.431s elapses until the back end of the glider passes point B. (a) Find the average speed of the glider as it passes point A?

Two gliders are set in motion on a horizontal air track. A massless spring of force constant k is attached to the back end of the second glider. As shown in the figure, the first glider, of mass m1, moves to the right with speed v1, and the second glider, of mass m2, moves more slowly to the right with speed v2. When glider 1 touches the spring, superglue instantly and permanently makes it stick to its end of the spring. In terms of v1, v2, m1, m2, find the speed v of the system of the spring and both gliders when the spring is at maximum compression and (b) the maximum compression distant x_max of the spring. The motion after the gliders become attached consists of the combination of (1) the constant-velocity motion of the center of mass of the two-glider system found in part (a) and (2) simple harmonic motion of the gliders relative to the center of mass
