Transcribed Image Text:
Consider a system of two toy rail cars (i.e., frictionless masses). Suppose that car 1 has mass 6 kg and is traveling at 3 m/s toward
the other car. Suppose car 2 has mass 3 kg and is moving toward the other car at 9 m/s. There is a bumper on the second rail car
that engages at the moment the cars hit and does not let go (it connects the two cars). The bumper acts as a spring with spring constant
6 N/m. The second car is 10 m from a wall.
Let t = 0 be the time that the cars link up. Let x1 be the displacement of the first car from its position at t = 0, and let 2 be the
displacement of the second car from its original position.
a. Set up a system of second-order differential equations that models this situation.

c. Will the cars be moving toward the wall, away from the wall, or will they be nearly stationary? ?
?
toward the wall
away from the wall
they will remain stationary
