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 219 N/m. The other end of the spring is fixed to a wall. Block 1 (mass 1.60 kg), traveling at speed v₁ = 4.10 m/s, collides with block 2, and the two blocks stick together. When the blocks momentarily stop, by what distance is the spring compressed?

A box of mass m = 0.12 kg is set against a spring with a spring constant of k1 = 595 N/m which has been compressed by a distance of 0.1 m. Some distance in front of it, along a frictionless surface, is another spring with a spring constant of k2 = 158 N/m. The box is not connected to the first spring and may slide freely. How far, d2 in meters, will the second spring compress when the box runs into it? How fast, v in meters per second, will the box be moving when it strikes the second spring? Now assume that the surface is rough (that is, not frictionless). You perform the experiment and observe that the second spring only compresses a distance d2/2. How much energy, in joules, was lost to friction?

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.
Consider two cars that can roll on a frictionless track. Initially, both cars are at rest. One car is launched from rest with a spring, and the cars undergo a completely inelastic collision. The spring constant is 850 N/m, and the spring is initially compressed by 0.075 m. The first car has a mass of 0.50 kg and the second has a mass of 1.0 kg. An identical spring is located to the right of the cars. a. The velocity of the first car just before collision. b. The velocities of the cars after collision. c. The distance the spring on the right will be compressed when the cars are completely stopped by the spring.
Problem 6: A massless spring (with force constant k = 197 N/m) connects a wall and a block of wood. The system is initially at rest, with the spring unstretched. The block has mass M = 52.2 g and is able to move without friction on a table. A gun is positioned to fire a bullet of mass m = 9.3 g into the block along the spring axis. After the gun is fired, the bullet gets embedded in the block, and the spring is compressed a maximum distance d = 0.81 m. M m

A block of mass 5M is attached to a very light horizontal spring of force constant k= 100 N and is resting on a frictionless horizontal table. Suddenly it is struck by a stone of mass M traveling horizontally at speed Vo =37.4 m/s to the right, after which the stone rebounds with speed vo/3 horizontally to the left. What is the speed ( in m/s) of the block of mass 5M after the collision (before the spring is compressed)? 5M M wwww Answer:
A small ball of mass mb = 0.050 kg is projected into a pendulum of mass Mp = 0.200 kg in a ballistic pendulum experiment. How fast does the ball need to go in order to get the pendulum to swing up to a height of h = 0.25 m above its original position? 2.21 m/s 0.111 m/s 11.1 m/s 0.553 m/s

A block A, of mass m = 10 Kg, compresses a spring of constant K = 1000 N / m in a length x = 3 cm. Starting from rest, the block is released, which moves from that moment on a horizontal surface without friction until it collides with another block B of mass m = 40 Kg, which was at rest. (Perfectly inelastic shock) and together they go up the channel (inclined surface) without friction, to later continue along a second horizontal plane without friction, at a height h with respect to the first (see Figure). Determine the energy variation that occurs in the collision .
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
