A bullet of mass 52 grams is fired horizontally into a 5.2 kg wooden block on a horizontalsurface. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the surface is 0.52. Thebullet stops in the block which slides straight ahead for 5.2 meter. At what speed is thebullet fired?(Apply conservation of energy with friction
How much kinetic energy is lost in the inelastic collisions? Where does it go? Is it still in the “closed system” or has it been lost to surroundings?
A block A, of mass m = 10 Kg, compresses a spring of constant K = 1000 N / m in a length x = 3 cm. Starting from rest, the block is released, which moves from that moment on a horizontal surface without friction until it collides with another block B of mass m = 40 Kg, which was at rest. (Perfectly inelastic shock) and together they go up the channel (inclined surface) without friction, to later continue along a second horizontal plane without friction, at a height h with respect to the first (see Figure). Determine the energy variation that occurs in the collision .
In a ballaistic pendulum, a bullet of mass m=5.50 g is fired with an initial speed vo=550 m/s at the bob of a pendulum. The bob has mass M=2.00kg and suspended by a rod of negligibel mass. After the collision, the bullet and bob stick together and swing through an arc, eventually gaining a height h. a) please find the h b) please find the kinetic energy of the system before the collison and after the collision (hint: use momentum conservation law for the collision process and then use energy conservation law for the swing process)

An object at rest on a flat, horizontal surface explodes into two fragments, onewith mass 100g, the other 700g. The heavier fragment slides 8.2m before stopping.How far does the lighter fragment slide? Assume both have the same coefficient ofkinetic friction.
A cannon of mass 5.12 x 10^3 kg is rigidly bolted to the earth so it can recoil only by a negligible amount. The cannon fires a 81.1-kg shell horizontally with an initial velocity of 549 m/s. Suppose the cannon is then unbolted from the earth, and no external force hinders its recoil. What would be the velocity of a shell fired from this loose cannon?
Two rigid bodies, A and B, both 1 kg in mass, are connected by a linear spring with a spring constant of 0.2 N/m. Initially, the spring is unstretched and the bodies are at rest. If multiple forces and moments are applied to the two bodies that result in the speed of body A increasing to 10 m/s, the speed of body B increasing to 4 m/s, and the stretch of the spring increasing by 10 m, then -20 Nm of work was done by the spring on the body A, B system.
