(III) Agent Arlene devised the following method of measuring the muzzle velocity of a rifle (Fig. 11–52). She fires a bullet into a 4.148-kg wooden block resting on a smooth surface, and attached to a spring of spring constant k = 162.7 N/m. The bullet, whose mass is 7.870 g, remains embedded in the wooden block. She measures the maximum distance that the block compresses the spring to be 9.460 cm. What is the speed v of the bullet? k M m 9.460 cm М+т FIGURE 11-52 Problem 22.

An object moving along a horizontal track collides with and compresses a light spring (which obeys Hooke's Law) located at the end of the track. The spring constant is 40.1 N/m, the mass of the object 0.250 kg and the speed of the object is 1.50 m/s immediately before the collision. (a) Determine the spring's maximum compression (in m) if the track is frictionless. m (b) If the track is not frictionless, will the spring's maximum compression be greater than, less than, or equal to the value obtained in part (a)? O greater than O less than O equal to

An elastic cord is 72 cmcm long when a weight of 73 NN hangs from it but is 89 cmcm long when a weight of 210 NN hangs from it.What is the "spring" constant kk of this elastic cord?
A spring with a spring constant 247 N/m is initially compressed by a distance of 0.044 m from its equilibrium position. A mass of 0.059 kg is then held against the compressed spring and released from rest while upon a horizontal, frictionless surface. Assuming that the spring then pushes the mass across the surface, with speed does the mass leave the spring? Assume proper SI Units.
