**42. A 1.00 × 10-²-kg bullet is fired horizontally into a 2.50-kg wooden block attached to one end of a massless horizontal spring (k = 845 N/m). The other end of the spring is fixed in place, and the spring is unstrained initially. The block rests on a horizontal, frictionless surface. The bullet strikes the block perpendicularly and quickly comes to a halt within it. As a result of this completely inelastic collision, the spring is compressed along its axis and causes the block/bullet to oscillate with an amplitude of 0.200 m. What is the speed of the bullet?

A ball of mass 0.45 kg is fired with velocity 120 m/s into the barrel of a spring gun of mass 2.0 kg initially at rest on a frictionless surface. The ball sticks in the barrel at the point of maximum compression of the spring. No energy is lost to friction. What fraction of the ball's initial kinetic energy is stored in the spring?
A 12.0-g bullet is fired horizontally into a 114-g wooden block that is initially at rest on a frictionless horizontal surface and connected to a spring having spring constant 143 N/m. The bullet becomes embedded in the block. If the bullet-block system compresses the spring by a maximum of 82.0 cm, what was the speed of the bullet at impact with the block? m/s
In the figure, block 2 (mass 1.10 kg) is at rest on a frictionless surface and touching the end of an unstretched spring of spring constant 216 N/m. The other end of the spring is fixed to a wall. Block 1 (mass 1.80 kg), traveling at speed v1 = 5.90 m/s, collides with block 2, and the two blocks stick together. When the blocks momentarily stop, by what distance is the spring compressed?
A 0.0155-kg bullet is fired horizontally into a 2.14-kg wooden block attached to one end of a massless, horizontal spring (k = 807 N/m). The other end of the spring is fixed in place, and the spring is unstrained initially. The block rests on a horizontal, frictionless surface. The bullet strikes the block perpendicularly and quickly comes to a halt within it. As a result of this completely inelastic collision, the spring is compressed along its axis and causes the block/bullet to oscillate with an amplitude of 0.261 m.

6) A massless spring, with force constant k=191N/m, connects a wall and a block of wood. The system is initially at rest with the spring neither stretched nor compressed. The block has mass M=54.2g and is free to move without friction on a table. A gun is positioned to fire a bullet of mass m=6.86g into the block along the spring axis. After the gun is fired, the bullet gets embedded in the block, and the spring is compressed a maximum distance d=0.857m. b) What is the speed, in meters per second, of the bullet before it enters the block? c) What is the frequency, in hertz, of the resulting periodic motion of the block/bullet and spring system?
A 1.5-kg block is attached to the end of a 1.9-m string to form a pendulum. The pendulum is released from rest when the string is horizontal. At the lowest point of its swing when it is moving horizontally, the block is hit by a 0.02-kg bullet moving horizontally in the opposite direction. The bullet remains in the block and causes the block to come to rest at the low point of its swing. What was the magnitude of the bullet's velocity just before hitting the block?

A mass m1 = 10.5 kg, with initial velocity V0 = 12.5 m/s, strikes a mass-spring system m2 = 7.25 kg, initially at rest but able to recoil. Assume the spring is massless and the surface horizontal and frictionless. See the figure below. If the collision is completely elastic, what are the final speeds V1 and V2 of m1 and m2, respectively?

A 1.14 kg block of wood is suspended from a light string and is initially at rest. The string is tied to a ring, which is attached to the ceiling. A 0.00955-kg bullet is shot horizontally from a gun with a speed of 683 m/s toward the block. The bullet embeds itself into the block. Together, the bullet and block swing together away from the vertical. To what maximum angle from the vertical does the bullet and block swing before momentarily stopping? Neglect air resistance. Assume the string is massless, is 2.00 m long, and does not bend while it is swinging
