A bullet of mass m is fired at velocity vo into a block of mass M, embedding in theblock. The block is attached to a spring with spring constant k. We will calculatethe maximum spring displacement due to the collision. Assume the block starts atthe neutral, uncompressed spring position.(a) What quantities are conserved in the collision? (circle all that apply)a. Linear Momentumb. Impulsec. Kinetic Energyd. Angular momentum about the point directly under the block.(b) What is the velocity of the bullet-block system immediately after thecollision?(c) How much does the spring compress? Explain your reasoning.

We will use the conservation of momentum and conservation of energy after the collision,

true or false: 1. during an explosion, the total kinetic energy is always conserved 2. An impulse always goes in the same direction as the applied force. 3. during an explosion of an object the sum of the momentum of all fragments is equal to the momentum of the object before the explosion 4. The momentum of a system is always conserved even if an external force acts on the system. 5. Momentum is a vector quantity during a perfectly inelastic collision between two masses the two masses rebound after the collision.
A standard hammer has a head made of steel which bounces off the nails it hits. A special “dead blow” hammer has a hollow head which is loosely filled with tiny spheres of lead or sand that can rattle around inside the head. If you have a standard and a “dead blow” hammer whose heads have the same mass and you swing them at the same velocity, which one will deliver higher impulse to the nail it strikes? A. The normal hammer B. The dead blow hammer C. They will both deliver the same force.
