3) Two trolleys are placed together on a horizontal runway with a compressed spring between them.

When they are released, the 2.0 kg trolley moves to the left at 2.0 m s–1. How much energy was stored in the spring?

4 / 5

4) A 2.0 kg object moving at 10 m s–1 collides normally with a wall and bounces off with half of its original kinetic energy. What is the magnitude of the impulse applied by the wall?
