The figure below shows a stationary block of mass 1 kg resting on a frictionless surface and attached to one end of a spring with spring constant 900 N/m. The spring is initially at its relaxed length and is connected to a rigid wall. A bullet of mass 5 g moving with speed 400 m/s is fired into the block and emerges from the other end of the block. The collision is not elastic. If the block moves a distance of 5 cm to the right after impact, find the speed v of the bullet after the collision and before it hits the wall. Assume that the block doesn't start moving until the bullet completely emerges from the block. (Hint: conserve momentum during the collision, conserve energy after the collision.) 400 m/s www 5 cm www

A .71-kg billiard ball moving at 2.5 m/s in the x-direction strikes a stationary ball of the same mass. After the collision, the first ball moves at 2.17 m/s, at an angle of 30.0° with respect to the original line of motion. Assuming an elastic collision (and ignoring friction and rotational motion), answer the following questions to find the struck ball's momentum after the collision. Using the components of the struck ball's momentum after the collision, find the resulting angle of the struck ball's motion below the horizontal.
A bullet of mass m=16 gr is fired into a block of mass M=5 kg initially at rest at the edge of a frictionless table of height h=0.90 m. The bullet remains in the block and the block lands a distance d=0.67 m from the bottom of the table. a)Determine the initial velocity of the bullet. vi=? b) Determine the loss of kinetic Energy during the collision.

A ballistic pendulum has a mass of 1.00 kg, it hangs from a string at rest when a bullet, mass 100.0 g is fired into it. The bullets speed is 50 m/s when it hits a pendulum. The two rise together immediately following the perfectly inelastic collision. Use the conservation of momentum and energy to determine how high they rise after the Impact.
A 0.01 kg bullet traveling horizontally at the speed of sound (343 m/s) embeds itself into the Kevlar vest of a stationary 100 kg physics professor. The bullet and the professor then move as one. What is the speed of the bullet/professor system after the collision?

The figure below shows a bullet of mass 15 g traveling horizontally towards the east with speed 250 m/s, which strikes a block of mass 1.5 kg that is initially at rest on a frictionless table. After striking the block, the bullet is embedded in the block and the block and the bullet move together as one unit. What is the energy loss in the system due to this collision
A 7.17 g pellet is shot horizontally from a BB gun at a speed of 24.8 m/s into a 28.7 g wooden block. The wooden block is attached to a spring and lies on a frictionless table. If the collision is inelastic and the spring constant k = 16.0 N/m, what is the maximum compression of the spring?
I need help with the following physics problem. Thanks
You fire an old rifle at a block of wood. The mass of the block of wood is 231 g and it dimensions are 10.2 cm × 10.2 cm × 3.16 cm. The bullet has a mass of 24.6 grams. Assume no air resistance and that the collision is perfectly inelastic. The velocity of the bullet is 22: m/s right before it hits the block. Assume no mass is lost when the two objects collide. 10.2 cm 1. The distance the bullet hits from the center of mass is 3.4 cm COM. How high up does the block travel? cm 2. What is the rotation rate (rev/s) of the block & bullet system directly after impact? 3.16
The particle hanging in the pendulum, of length 0.7 meters, has a mass of 4.1 kg and it is going to swing down to strike a block D with mass 3.1 kg to make it move on the ground. Block D is not moving before the collision. The coefficient of restitution is 0.7 between the two colliding objects. The coefficient of friction between D and the ground is 0.32. The pendulum is released from rest at position A. Determine the velocity in m/s of the block D after sliding on the ground a distances 1.3 meters. B Also answer the following questions: 1. Draw the complete and clear FBD of the ball on the pendulum at a position between A and B. Indicate two sides of the FBD with all forces and mass x accelerations, label all of them. 2. Find the velocity of the ball just before the impact at position B. 3. Complete the LIM diagrams as studied in the lectures and find the velocities of the objects right after the collision. Is the ball bouncing back or continuing the motion after the collision?
