Textbook Question
Chapter 11, Problem 56EAP
- You have been asked to design a “ballistic spring system” to measure the speed of bullets. A spring whose spring constant is k is suspended from the ceiling. A block of mass M hangs from the spring. A bullet of mass m is fired vertically upward into the bottom of the block and stops in the block. The spring’s maximum compression d is measured.
- Find an expression for the bullet’s speed vBin terms of in, M, k, and d.
