Chapter 8, Problem 61GP
A rifle bullet with mass 8.00 g strikes and embeds itself in a block with a mass of 0.992 kg that rests on a frictionless, horizontal surface and is attached to a coil spring. (See Figure 8.48.) The impact compresses the spring 15.0 cm. Calibration of the spring shows that a force of 0.750 N is required to compress the spring 0.250 cm. (a) Find the magnitude of the block’s velocity just after impact. (b) What was the initial speed of the bullet?

A arrow of mass 0.01 kg moving horizontal suddenly strikes a block of wood of mass 8.6 kg that is suspended by a light string, like a pendulum. The arrow passes through the wood, then the wood swings upward and momentarily stops when the string is horizontal. The length of the string is 2.0 cm. How long did it take the arrow to go through the wood if the friction force between the bullies and the wood is 100 N?
A 14.0-g bullet is fired into a block of wood with speed, =
270 m/s (see the figure below). The block is attached to a
spring that has a spring constant of 200 N/m. The block
with the embedded bullet compresses the spring a
distance d = 32.0 cm to the right, before momentarily
coming to a stop.
