Question

A 10.0 g bullet is fired into and embeds itself in a 1.60 kg block attached to a spring with a spring constant of 23.7 N/m and whose mass is negligible. How far is the spring compressed if the bullet has a speed of 300 m/s just before it strikes the block, and the block slides on a frictionless surface? (Note: You must use conservation of momentum in this problem.) m

Expert Solution

Step 1

Given:

Mass of the bullet = 10 g

Mass of the block = 1.60 Kg

Value of spring constant = 23.7 N/m

Speed of the bullet = 300 m/s

The distance of compression of spring =?
