A bullet with a mass m₁ = 11.9 g is fired into a block of wood at velocity Ub = 265 m/s. The block is attached to a spring that has a spring constant k of 205 N/m. The block and bullet continue to move, compressing the spring by 35.0 cm before the whole system momentarily comes to a stop. Assuming that the surface on which the block is resting is frictionless, determine the mass my, of the wooden block. mw = kg то ww k www

A child is bouncing an a trampoline. The child has a mass of 42.5 kg. She leaves the surface of the trampoline with an initial upwards velocity of 10.2 m/s. When she reaches height 1.60 m above the trampoline (still on the way up), she grabs a large (stationary) plastic block. The mass of the block is 6.00 kg.

A truck equipped with a massless spring in front crashes with a stationary truck. The mass of the incoming truck is six times the mass of the normal truck. While the spring is being compressed, the trucks are moving closer together, and while it is expanding they are moving farther apart, but at the instant that the spring is fully compressed, they have no relative motion, which means they are moving at the same speed. At this instant, the cars are moving with a speed of 4.2 m/s. Find the speed of the incoming car before the collision.
