A rifle bullet with mass of 7.50 g strikes and embeds itself in a 0.870 kg block resting on a frictionless, horizontal surface and is attached to an ideal spring whose force constant is 300 N/m. The impact compresses the spring to 18 cm. (a) What is the magnitude of the velocity of the block just after the impact? (b) What was the initial speed of the bullet?

A 6 000-kg freight car rolls along rails with negligible friction. The car is brought to rest by a combination of two coiled springs as illustrated in Figure P6.27 (page 188). Both springs are described by Hookes law and have spring constants k1 = 1 600 N/m and k2, = 3 400 N/m. After the first spring compresses a distance of 30.0 cm, the second spring acts with the first to increase the force as additional compression occurs as shown in the graph. The car comes to rest 50.0 cm after first contacting the two-spring system. Find the cars initial speed.
