A 12.0-g bullet is fired horizontally into a 114-g wooden block that is initially at rest on a frictionless horizontal surface and connected to a spring having spring constant 141 N/m. The bullet becomes embedded in the block. If the bullet-block system compresses the spring by a maximum of 82.5 cm, what was the speed of the bullet at impact with the block?
In the figure, block 2 (mass 1.20 kg) is at rest on a frictionless surface and touching the end of an unstretched spring of spring constant 208 N/m. The other end of the spring is fixed to a wall.

A pendulum of mass m and length is initially at rest at an angle 9. The pendulum then swings down and collides elastically with a stationary block of mass M. The block slides along the surface and eventually stops when it encounters a rough patch of length |Ad. Assume that m = 1.7kg, L = 0.80m, 0 = 67°, M = 2.8kg and Ad = 0.55m. a) Calculate the speed of the block immediately after the elastic collision. b) What is the coefficient of kinetic friction of the rough patch?
You have been asked to design an experiment to measure the speed of a fired bullet as part of your new job in the military sector. You decide you will use your knowledge of springs, conservation of momentum and energy to design your experiment. You decide to hang a spring with constant k vertically and attach a block of mass M to the end of the spring. The bullet of mass m is then fired vertically upward into the wooden block where it embeds into the block. You will measure the distance d that the spring is compressed and use this to find the initial speed of the bullet. A. Place the origin of your coordinate system on equilibrium position of the unstretched spring. Draw a before and after diagram of the bullet-spring system. Be sure to label any speeds, changes in length of the spring, and important information about the problem. Label the unknown bullet's speed VB. Label the unknown speed of the bullet + block system after the bullet embeds vo. B. Determine the symbolic energy…

A ball is attached to one end of a wire, the other end being fastened to the ceiling. The wire is held horizontal, and the ball is released from rest (see the drawing). It swings downward and strikes a block initially at rest on a horizontal frictionless surface. Air resistance is negligible, and the collision is elastic. The masses of the ball and block are, respectively, 1.7 kg and 2.5 kg, and the length of the wire is 1.36 m. Find the velocity (magnitude and direction) of the ball just after the collision.
