A pendulum consists of a 1.7-kg block hanging on a 2.5-m length string. A 0.02-kg bullet moving with a horizontal velocity of 686 m/s strikes, passes through, and emerges from the block (initially at rest) with a horizontal velocity of 346 m/s. To what maximum height above its initial position will the block swing? Write your answer in meters.
A crate of mass m1 slides down a well-lubricated hill of height h, with negligible friction. At the bottom, where it is moving horizontally, it collides with another crate, of mass m2, that initially was sitting at rest and that is attached to a wall by a spring of spring constant k that initially is at its equilibrium length. Assume that the spring itself has negligible mass. a)Given that the distance d that the crates compress the spring is d=0.35 m, calculate the speed v2 of the crates immediately after the collision, in units of meters per second. Use the following values:k=950 N/mm1=2.4 kgm2=2.6 kgμ=0.49g=9.8 m/s2 b)What was the speed of the crate of mass m1 just before the collision with the second block, in meters per second? c) What is the height h of the hill, in meters?

As shown in the figure below, a box of mass m = 7.40 kg is sliding across a horizontal frictionless surface with an initial speed vi = 3.50 m/s when it encounters a spring of constant k = 2750 N/m. The box comes momentarily to rest after compressing the spring some amount xc. Determine the final compression xc (in m) of the spring.
Apollo and Artemis are playing on the teeter‑totter in their school's playground. They both have approximately the same mass. They are sitting on either side of the teeter‑totter at about the same distance from the teeter‑totter's pivot point. The teeter‑totter is going up and down and they are having a great time! Mercury, the new kid in school, wanders by. Since they are very friendly kids, Apollo and Artemis ask Mercury to join them. Mercury joins Apollo on his side of the teeter‑totter and sits next to him. What should Artemis do in order to keep the fun going? 1)Move farther from the teeter‑totter's pivot point in order to balance out the new smaller torque provided by Mercury and Apollo. 2)Move closer to the teeter‑totter's pivot point in order to balance out the new larger torque provided by Mercury and Apollo. 3)Move farther from the teeter‑totter's pivot point in order to balance out the new larger torque provided by Mercury and Apollo. 4)Move closer to the…
A 1.2 kg glider moving at 3.0 m/s [right] undergoes an elastic head-on collision with a glider of equal mass moving at 3.0 m/s [left]. The collision is cushioned by a spring whose spring constant, k, is 6.0 x 104 N/m. Determine the compression in the spring when the second glider is moving left at 1.6 m/s.
A block of mass M is traveling on a surface inclined at angle θ. The coefficient of kinetic friction is μk, between block and surface. The velocity of the block is V before colliding with a spring. The spring has a stiffness k. How much is the spring compressed?
Q19. A wooden block of mass mı sits on a floor attached to a spring in its equilibrium position. A bullet of mass m2 is fired with a velocity of v into the wooden block, where it remains. Derive an equation for the maximum displacement of the spring if the floor is frictionless and the spring has a spring constant 1 of k. (x = m2v k(m1+m2)'
A bullet with a mass m, = 12.7 g is fired into a block of wood at velocity v, 253 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 mw of the wooden block. mw = kg
A wooden block of mass 25m sits on a floor attached to a spring in its equilibrium position. A bullet of mass m is fired with a velocity of v into the wooden block, where it remains. Derive an equation for the maximum displacement of the spring if the floor is frictionless and the spring has a spring constant of k.
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.
