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 spring-mass system has a spring with spring constant k=85.0 N/m and a 650.0 gram mass on the end of the spring. The surface supporting the mass is frictionless and there is negligible air resistance. When the system is first observed (at time t = 0), the spring is stretched 13.20 cm from its natural length and the velocity of the mass is 1.90 m/s in the +x direction. 1. What is the displacement function x(t) for this motion? 2. If the spring-mass system was placed in a chamber where the air resistance has a drag constant of b = 1.40, what is the frequency of the new system, in rad/s? Round to the nearest hundredth (0.01). Justify your answer using your rationale and equations used.
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?
Your answer is partially correct. A 0.0163-kg bullet is fired horizontally into a 3.56-kg wooden block attached to one end of a massless, horizontal spring (k = 882 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 0.152 m. What is the speed of the bullet? mmm www Number i 522.18 Units m/s

7. Two masses, m1 = 2 kg and m2 = 8 kg, are pressed onto identical springs (k = 2 × 104 N/m) so that the springs are each compressed by 10 cm. The masses are then released; they slide towards each other on a frictionless table and undergo an elastic collision. Find the speed of each mass before the collision. Find the speed of each mass after the collision. After the collision, m1 will rebound to the left and hit the spring again. How far will the spring compress before it momentarily comes to rest? m2 m,
Mickey, a daredevil mouse of mass 0.0201 kg,0.0201 kg, is attempting to become the world's first "mouse cannonball."

A block of mass M = 8 kg rests on a horizontal frictionless floor, and is connected to a vertical wall by a spring of force constant k = 200 N/m. When the spring is in its equilibrium position (neither stretched nor compressed), the block just touches a second lighter block of mass m = 4 kg at rest on the frictionless floor. The spring with mass M attached is now compressed by 0.1 m and released. The two blocks undergo a completely inelastic collision, i.e., they stick together after collision. Draw a diagram and define all relevant variables. Just before the collision, what is the velocity of mass MT Just after the collision, what is the common velocity of the two blocks? (What is the maximum stretching of the spring after the collision?: How long after the collision do the masses reach their first maximum stretch?
