The 450-kg ram of a pile driver falls 1.4 m from rest and strikes the top of a 240-kg pile embedded 0.9 m in the ground. Upon impact the ram is seen to move with the pile with no noticeable rebound. Determine the velocity v of the pile and ram imme- diately after impact. Can you justify using the principle of conservation of momentum even though the weights act during the impact?

A bullet (W₁ = 3.5 oz) with a is fired horizontally with a velocity v₁ = 1675 ft/sec into the block (W₂ = 5.7 lb) of soft wood initially at rest on the horizontal surface. The bullet emerges from the block with the velocity v₂ = 1280 ft/sec, and the block is observed to slide a distance of d = 7.3 ft before coming to rest. Determine the coefficient of kinetic friction μk between the block and the supporting surface. Answer: Uk= i W₁ W₂

During an Olympic 100-m sprint race, Usain Bolt, the world record holder in that race, quickly accelerates to his top speed of 12.4 m/s. Analysis of his technique has shown that each of his feet make contact with the ground for 0.0800 s, exerting a force of magnitude 2.80 x 10° N during this contact. This allows the 94.0 kg Bolt to leap forward and remain airborne for 0.120 s until the next foot touches the ground. (Ignore air resistance.) (a) What are the magnitudes of the horizontal and vertical components of the force (in N) Bolt's feet exert on the ground? (Round your answers to at least three significant figures.) horizontal N vertical (b) Assuming that the sprinter accelerates at a constant rate while his feet are in contact with the ground and does not slow down when he is airborne, by what amount does Bolt's horizontal speed (in m/s) increase with each step?

A massless spring (with force constant k=300 N/m) connects a wall and a block. The system is initially at rest, with the spring unstretched. Mass of the bullet is 0.04 kg and its velocity is v0=110 m/s before it enters the block. Friction between block and surface is μ=0.4. What are the speed of the block and bullet after it enters the block mass of the block if the maximum force of the spring to the wall is Fj=60 N?
