A 18.0 g bullet is fired horizontally into a 109 g wooden block that is initially at rest on a frictionless horizontal surface and connected to a spring having spring constant 122 N/m. The bullet becomes embedded in the block and then compresses a spring. (a) Determine the potential energy of the spring when it is compressed by 1.00 m. A 18.0 g bullet is fired horizontally into a 109 g wooden block that is initially at rest on a frictionless horizontal surface and connected to a spring having spring constant 122 N/m. The bullet becomes embedded in the block. The bullet block system compresses the spring by a maximum of 1.00 m. (b) Determine the velocity of the block once the bullet is embedded, just before it starts to compress the spring. A 18.0 g bullet is fired horizontally into a 109 g wooden block that is initially at rest on a frictionless horizontal surface and connected to a spring having spring constant 122 N/m. The bullet becomes embedded in the block. The bullet block system compresses the spring by a maximum of 1.00 cm. (d) Determine the speed of the bullet at impact with the block.
