Problem 5 www.m Test of Strength m₂. A game consists of compressing a spring (constant k) with a block of mass m as far as possible and then releasing. Af- ter releasing, the mass collides elastically with another block of mass 2m which is attached to a string with length R as shown. (a) What speed does the block with mass m2 need immediately after the collision so that it completes a full cir- cle? (b) What minimum force do you need to compress the spring with, such that the second block makes it around the circle?

A 14.0-g bullet is fired into a block of wood with speed, = 270 m/s (see the figure below). The block is attached to a spring that has a spring constant of 200 N/m. The block with the embedded bullet compresses the spring a distance d = 32.0 cm to the right, before momentarily coming to a stop. V m eeeeeee d Determine the mass of the wooden block. (Express your answer to two significant figures.) kg
The massless spring of a spring gun has a force constant k=11.5N/cm. When the gun is aimed vertically, a 10-g projectile is shot to a height of 5.0 m above the end of the expanded spring. How much was the spring compressed initially?
A0.1kg bullet is fired horizontally at initial speed 10m/s into a 0.9kg wooden block that is initially at rest on a frictionless horizontal surface and connected to a spring with spring constant 100 N/m. The bullet becomes embedded in the block. Then the bullet-block system compresses the spring. (a) What is the speed of the system including the block and the bullet after they collide? Answer: m/s b) Find the maximum compression? Answer:
A 114 g frisbee is caught in a tree. To dislodge it You toss a 230 g lump of clay vertically upward. Clay and frisbee stick together and rise to a maximum of 3.1 m above the frisbees initial position. What was the speed of the Clay as it hit the frisbee?
8. A spring clamped to the table shoots Block 1 (130 g, wood) directly into Block 2 (90 g, steel), this perfectly elastic collision will launch the second block up a ramp. When the spring is compressed 16 cm, the block travels vertically up a 76 cm ramp and then compresses another spring (100 N/m) at the top, 8 cm. What then is the spring constant for the first spring? Assume that all surfaces are frictionless. Kp=Usp 2 0=45°
A wad of clay of mass mc= 0.2kg is thrown at a speed vc= 30m/s at a stationary toy train car sitting on a horizontal section of track, as is shown in the diagram. The clay sticks to the train after the collision.The toy train has mass mt= 0.4kg. Ignore friction. a)The train car then ascends a 30◦incline that rises a total height of ∆h= 15/4m. What is the speed of the train car once it reaches the top? b) How long does it take to ascend the incline? c)The train car then runs into a spring of total length L= 0.8m and spring constantk= 60N/m. What is the length of the compressed spring the moment the car comes to rest?
A 0.5kg ball is fired from the tube at A with a velocity of 9m/s. If the coefficient of restitution between the ball and the surface is 0.75, determine the height after it bounces off the surface. Use two decimal points in your final answer.
Your uncle works at the railroad freight yard, and he has asked you to watch the yard hands couple 30,000-kg boxcars together. As he leaves to get a sandwich, he tells you, "Whatever you do, don't let those cars bang together too hard. The coupling between the cars will take only 9,000 J on a hit before it shatters." You ask how hard is too hard, but your uncle has already ducked out. How fast can one moving car bump into a stationary car without the coupling shattering? Express your answer to two significant digits and include the appropriate units.
A 2 kg ball moving at 3 m/s collides with a 4 kg that is stationary. If the collision is perfectly inelastic, what is the speed of the 2 kg ball after the collision? А) В. 1.5 m/s (B E. No answer c D. 1 m/s D A. -1 m/s E C. -0.5 m/s
Solve the following: You have been asked to design a "ballistic spring system" to measure the speed of bullets. A spring whose spring constant is kk is suspended from the ceiling. A block of mass MM hangs from the spring. A bullet of mass mm is fired vertically upward into the bottom of the block. The spring's maximum compression dd is measured from its initial suspended position.
