A 2.00-kg object is attached to an ideal massless horizontal spring of spring constant 100.0 N/m and is at rest on a frictionless horizontal table
The spring is aligned along the x-axis and is fixed to a peg in the table. Suddenly this mass is struck by another 2.00-kg object traveling along the x-axis at 3.00 m/s, and the two masses stick together. What are the amplitude and period of the oscillations that result from this collision?
A) 0.300 m, 1.26 s
B) 0.300 m, 0.889 s
C) 0.424 m, 0.889 s
D) 0.424 m, 1.26 s
E) 0.424 m, 5.00 s

A square coil and a triangular coil each have sides of length L. The triangular coil has twice as many turns as the square coil. If a the same current is sent through each coil, when the coils are placed in the same uniform magnetic field making an angle of 30° with the planes of the coils, which coil experiences the greater torque?
a. the square coil b. the triangular coil c. Both coils experience the same torque. d. It depends on the magnitude of the magnetic field that the coils are placed in.
