A 0.650 kgkg block is attached to a spring with spring constant 14.0 N/mN/m. While the block is sitting at rest, a student hits it with a hammer and almost instantaneously gives it a speed of 46.0 cm/scm/s. What is the block's speed at the point where x=0.20 A?
One way to measure the speed of a bullet is to fire it into a block of wood attached to a spring. The bullet hits the block and remains lodged in it. The spring is compressed after the collision. If the mass of the bullet is 8.0×10−38.0×10−3 kg, and the mass of the block is 4.0 kg, and the spring constant is 2400 N/m, then what is the initial speed of the bullet if the maximum compression of the spring is 0.087 m? Give your answer in m/s.

How far has the spring compressed by the time the block first momentarily comes to rest? Assume the positive direction is to the right.
A spring with a spring constant 247 N/m is initially compressed by a distance of 0.044 m from its equilibrium position.
