A .0200kg bullet hits a 5.00kg wood block that is sitting at rest on a rough horizontal surface. The bullet lodges in the block and the bullet and block slide together with speed VA-0.750m/s after the collision. Before the collision After the collision VA 0.750m/s V=? (at rest) ID Even though the surface is rough, why can momentum be regarded as being conserved during the collision? Find the speed of the bullet before the collision.

A spring with relaxed length 0.30 m and spring constant 1.8 N/m rests horizontally on a frictionless table and is anchored frmly to a wall on one side. You press a 400 g block into the other side until the spring length is 0.16 m and then let go. a.) What will the momentum of the block be when it departs from the spring?

Consider a 0.62kg basketball that is dropped from a height of 1 meter above the floor. 1. If the collision the basketball is completely elastic how high would the ball rise after bouncing off the ground? 2. If the ball’s collision with the ground is not completely elastic, what could you say about the maximum height that ball reaches after the bounce? 3. Calculate the change in momentum of the ball if the collision with the ground is perfectly elastic and find the average force acting on the ball during a collision of 20s duration
