Submit Previous Answers In your job in a police lab, you must design an apparatus to measure the muzzle velocities of bullets fired from handguns. Your solution is to attach a 2.00 kg wood block that rests on a horizontal surface to a light horizontal spring. The other end of the spring is attached to a wall. Initially the spring is at its equilibrium length. A bullet is fired horizontally into the block and remains embedded in it. After the bullet strikes the block, the block compresses the spring a maximum distance d. You have measured that the coefficient of kinetic friction Correct between the block and the horizontal surface is 0.38. The table below lists some firearms Part C that you will test. A grain is a unit of mass equal to 64.80 mg. You want the maximum compression of the spring to be 0.23 m. What must be the force constant of the spring?

A cannon is rigidly attached to a carriage, which can move along horizontal rails, but is connected to a post by a large spring (with spring constant of 20,000.0 N/m), initially unstretched as shown in the figure. The cannon fires a 200.0-kg projectile directed at 45.0 degrees above the horizontal and the recoil causes the spring to stretch a distance of 1.80 m. Suppose that the mass of the cannon and its carriage (without the projectile) is 5000.0 kg and that the projectile is fired 3.00 meters above the surface. Determine the maximum height of the projectile. You may ignore air resistance, the kinetic friction of the carriage, and the rotational kinetic energy of the wheels.
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.
Block A in (Figure 1) has mass 0.800 kg, and block B has mass 2.85 kg. The blocks are forced together, compressing a spring S between them; then the system is released from rest on a level, frictionless surface. The spring, which has negligible mass, is not fastened to either block and drops to the surface after it has expanded. Block B acquires a speed of 1.30 m/s.

A spring with a spring constant of 303 N/m is initially compressed by a distance of 0.056 m from its equilibrium position. A mass of 0.053 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.
A 5.00-g bullet moving with an initial speed of v₁ = 390 m/s is fired into and passes through a 1.00-kg block as shown in the figure below. The block, initially at rest on a frictionless, horizontal surface, is connected to a spring with force constant 860 N/m.

A pendulum of length L = 1.0 meter and bob of mass m = 1.0 kg is released from rest at an angle θ = 30 degrees. When the pendulum reaches the vertical position, the bob strikes a cube with mass M = 3.0 kg that is resting on a frictionless table of height h = 0.85 m. d. Determine how far away from the bottom edge of the table, Δx, the cube will strike the floor e. At the location where the cube would have struck the floor, there is now a small cart of mass M = 3.0 kg and negligible height. The cube lands on the cart, and sticks to the cart in a completely *inelastic* collision. Ignore friction. Calculate the horizontal velocity of the cart just after the cube lands on it.
