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

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 2.3 kg, and the length of the wire is 1.21 m. Find the velocity (magnitude and direction) of the ball (a) just before the collision, and (b) just after the collision.
A bullet of mass mm = 0.0010 kgkg embeds itself in a wooden block with mass MM = 0.999 kgkg, which then compresses a spring (kkk = 130 N/mN/m ) by a distance xxx = 0.048 mm before coming to rest. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and table is μμ = 0.50. a. What is the initial velocity (assumed horizontal) of the bullet? Express your answer using two significant figures. b. What fraction of the bullet's initial kinetic energy is dissipated (in damage to the wooden block, rising temperature, etc.) in the collision between the bullet and the block?
