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?
An 8.0-g bullet is suddenly shot into a 4.0-kg block that is at rest on a frictionless horizontal surface, as shown in the figure. The bullet remains lodged in the block. The block then runs into a spring bumper and compresses it by 3.7 cm. The force constant (spring constant) of the spring is 2500 N/m. What was the initial speed v of the bullet?
A small ball of mass mb = 0.050 kg is projected into a pendulum of mass Mp = 0.200 kg in a ballistic pendulum experiment. How fast does the ball need to go in order to get the pendulum to swing up to a height of h = 0.25 m above its original position? 2.21 m/s 0.111 m/s 11.1 m/s 0.553 m/s
A 1.2 kg glider moving at 3.0 m/s [right] undergoes an elastic head-on collision with a glider of equal mass moving at 3.0 m/s [left]. The collision is cushioned by a spring whose spring constant, k, is 6.0 x 104 N/m. Determine the compression in the spring when the second glider is moving left at 1.6 m/s.
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?
. What is the initial kinetic energy in joules of the bullet in problem 1? What is the final kinetic energy of the combined bullet/pendulum?
A 5.00-gm projectile moving with an initial speed of 400. m/s is fired into and passes through a 1.00-kg block as shown. The block, initially stationary on a frictionless horizontal surface, is connected to a spring with a spring constant k = 900. N/m, If the block moves 5.00 cm to the right after impact find (a) the speed at which the projectile emerges from the block and (b) the energy lost in the collision. HINT: this is not an elastic or inelastic collision, but what concept can you use?
A 0.053 kg bullet is fired into a 5.38 kg wood block, which is attached to a pendulum. At the instant after they collide inelastically, the total mechanical energy of the system is 24.1 J. At the top of the swing of the pendulum, the block and bullet have risen to a maximum height, h, and now have a velocity of v = 0 m/s Use conservation of energy to find the maximum height, h, of the block + bullet system. Hint: The following formula will be useful PE = mx9.8×h %3D
A 2.00-kg pendulum ball is attached to a light-uniform cable of length 1.20 m that is hanging from the ceiling at an angle of 50.00 to the vertical.
