7. A bullet (100g) is fired at a velocity of 200 m/s and it then collides with a stationary block (1Kg). After the collision, the bullet is embedded in the block and both systems travel together along a frictionless surface to fully compress a spring with a force constant of 20 N/m. a) Find the Final velocity that the bullet and block system will acquire after the collision b) Determine the amount of elastic potential energy that the spring will gain when it is fully compressed c) Find the maximum compression
Simple harmonic motion
Simple harmonic motion is a type of periodic motion in which an object undergoes oscillatory motion. The restoring force exerted by the object exhibiting SHM is proportional to the displacement from the equilibrium position. The force is directed towards the mean position. We see many examples of SHM around us, common ones are the motion of a pendulum, spring and vibration of strings in musical instruments, and so on.
Simple Pendulum
A simple pendulum comprises a heavy mass (called bob) attached to one end of the weightless and flexible string.
Oscillation
In Physics, oscillation means a repetitive motion that happens in a variation with respect to time. There is usually a central value, where the object would be at rest. Additionally, there are two or more positions between which the repetitive motion takes place. In mathematics, oscillations can also be described as vibrations. The most common examples of oscillation that is seen in daily lives include the alternating current (AC) or the motion of a moving pendulum.
