Chapter 8, Problem 8.79P
A rifle bullet with mass 8.00 g strikes and embeds itself in a block with mass 0.992 kg that rests on a frictionless, horizontal surface and is attached to a coil spring (Fig. P8.79). 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 1.6-kg block is attached to the end of a 2.0-m string to form a pendulum. The pendulum is released
from rest when the string is horizontal. At the lowest point of its swing when it is moving horizontally,
the block is hit by a 10-g bullet moving horizontally in the opposite direction. The bullet remains in
the block and causes the block to come to rest at the low point of its swing. What was the magnitude
of the bullet's velocity just before hitting the block?
#6. A 1.0 kg steel ball and a 2.0 m cord of negligible mass make u simple pendulum that can pivot
without friction about the point O, as in Figure 3. This pendulum is released from rest in a horizontal
position, and when the ball is at its lowest point it strikes a 1.0 kg block sitting at rest on a shelf.
Assume that the collision is perfectly elastic and that the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block
and shelf is 0.10.
(A) What is the velocity of the block just after impact?
(B) How far foes the bock slide before coming to rest (assuming that the shelf is long enough)?

Pendulum 1 in the figure has a 1.50 m rope with a small ball attached as a weight. This pendulum is pulled to one side at 30.0º and released.
At the bottom point of its arc, it collides elastically with the weight of pendulum 2, which has a bead with twice the mass of the first, but with the same length of string.
Determine the angles at which both pendulums bounce (when they come to rest) after they collide.
