A 0.0101-kg bullet is fired straight up at a falling wooden block that has a mass of 1.86 kg. The bullet has a speed of 812 m/s when in strikes the block. The block originally was dropped from rest from the top of a building and had been falling for a time t when the collision with the bullet occurs. As a result of the collision, the block (with the bullet in it) reverses direction, rises, and comes to a momentary halt at the top of the building. Find the time t. Number 0.447 Units 5

In the figure, block 1 of mass m slides from rest along a frictionless ramp from height h = 2.4 m and then collides with stationary block 2, which has mass m2 = 3m1. After the collision, block 2 slides into a region where the coefficient of kinetic friction uy is 0.5 and comes to a stop in distance d within that region. What is the value of distance d if the collision is (a) elastic and (b) completely inelastic? Frictionless 2 (a) Number i Unit (b) Number i Unit

A ball weighing 1 kg moves at a speed of 4 m / s and collides with a ball weighing 2 kg moving towards it at a speed of 3 m / s. What are the speeds of the balls after hitting? Impact is considered absolutely elastic, direct, central.
In a ballistic pendulum experiment, a small marble is fired into a cup attached to the end of a pendulum. If the mass of the marble is 0.0235 kg and the mass of the pendulum is 0.250 kg, how high h will the pendulum swing if the marble has an initial speed of 5.65 m/s? Assume that the mass of the pendulum is concentrated at its end so that linear momentum is conserved during this collision. h = m
Block A (with mass 10 kg) slides along a frictionless floor with a speed of 0.75 m/s and collides with Block B (with mass 12 kg) which was at rest and is attached to a spring with spring constant 24 N/m. The blocks stick together after the collision; what is the maximum compression of the spring?
The figure below shows a bullet of mass 15 g traveling horizontally towards the east with speed 250 m/s, which strikes a block of mass 1.5 kg that is initially at rest on a frictionless table. After striking the block, the bullet is embedded in the block and the block and the bullet move together as one unit. What is the energy loss in the system due to this collision

A lumberjack is standing on a log floating on a lake. She starts from rest, then runs along the log to the end, when she jumps from the first log onto a second. After landing safely on the second log, she slows down and ends up standing on the second log. Both logs both have masses of 150 kg each and the mass of the lumberjack is 70 kg. The lumberjack reaches a speed of 7.0 m/s relative to the shore during her jump. What is the speed of the lumberjack after she has stopped on the second log? You may assume the drag of the water on the logs is very small. Please answer in units of m/s.
A 2.76-kg steel ball strikes a massive wall at 10.0 m/s at an angle of θ = 60.0° with the plane of the wall. It bounces off the wall with the same speed and angle (see the figure below). If the ball is in contact with the wall for 0.176 s, what is the average force exerted by the wall on the ball?
