2mgh= 12? 2m? v2
D: v=2gh
AB collision process, let the left side be the positive direction, according to the conservation of momentum:
mvB=2mv
Get: vB=2v
The separation process of BC and spring satisfies the conservation of momentum, that is, the total momentum of the system is zero:
Mvc=mvB
Get: vc=vB
According to the transformation and conservation of energy: EP =12mvb2+12mvc2 = 8mgh.
A: The initial elastic potential energy of a light spring is 8 mgh.
