A 0.01kg bullet is shot upward (+y axis) at 3600kph and hits and passes through the center of mass of a 5kg stationary block. The bullet emerges from the block and continues to move upward at 1440kph. To what maximum height does the block then rise above from its original position? (Answer in 3 decimal places, no unit)

With the same procedure, you fire a bean with speed 600 cm/s. What is the ratio of the mass of the bean to the mass of the pebble? (a) 19 (b) 13 (c) 1 (d) 3 (e) 9
The coefficient of friction between the block of mass m1 = 3.00 kg and ilie surface in Figure P8.22 is k = 0.400. The system starts from rest. What is the speed of the ball of mass m2 = 5.00 kg when it has fallen a distance h = 1.50 m?
Two gliders are set in motion on a horizontal air track. A spring of force constant k is attached to the back end of the second glider. As shown in Figure P8.48, the first glider, of mass m1, moves to the right with speed v1, and the second glider, of mass m2, moves more slowly to the right with speed v2. When m1 collides with the spring attached to m2, the spring compresses by a distance xmax, and the gliders then move apart again. In terms of v1, v2, m1, m2, and k, find (a) the speed rat maximum compression, (b) the maximum compression xmax, and (c) the velocity of each glider after m1 has lost contact with the spring.
Two projectiles of mass m1 and m2 , are fired at the same speed but in opposite directions from two launch sites separated by a distance D. They both reach the same spot in their highest point and strike there. As a result of the impact they stick together and move as a single body afterwards. Find the place they will land.
The coefficient of friction between the block of mass ml = 3.00 kg and the surface in Figure P7.22 is k = 0.400. The system starts from rest. What is the speed of the ball of mass, m2 = 5.00 kg when it has fallen a distance h = 1.50 m? Figure P7.22
Three runaway train cars are moving on a frictionless, horizontal track in a railroad yard as shown in Figure P11.73. The first car, with mass m1 = 1.50 103 kg, is moving to the right with speed v1 = 10.0 m /s; the second car, with mass m2 = 2.50 103 kg, is moving to the left with speed v2 = 5.00 m/s, and the third car, with mass m3 = 1.20 103 kg, is moving to the left with speed v3 = 8.00 m /s. The three railroad cars collide at the same instant and couple, forming a train of three cars. a. What is the final velocity of the train cars immediately after the collision? b. Would the answer to part (a) change if the three cars did not collide at the same instant? Explain. FIGURE P11.73
Two objects are connected by a light string passing over a light, frictionless pulley as shown in Figure P7.7. The object of mass m1 = 5.00 kg is released from rest at a height h = 4.00 m above the table. Using the isolated system model, (a) determine the speed of the object of mass m2 = 3.00 kg just as the 5.00-kg object hits the table and (b) find the maximum height above the table to which the 3.00-kg object rises.
A cannon is rigidly attached to a carriage, which can move along horizontal rails but is connected to a post by a large spring, initially unstretchcd and with force constant k = 2.00 104 N/m, as shown in Figure P8.60. The cannon fires a 200-kg projectile at a velocity of 125 m/s directed 45.0 above the horizontal. (a) Assuming that the mass of the cannon and its carriage is 5 000 kg, find the recoil speed of the cannon. (b) Determine the maximum extension of the spring. (c) Find the maximum force the spring exerts on the carriage. (d) Consider the system consisting of the cannon, carriage, and projectile. Is the momentum of this system conserved during the firing? Why or why not?
In the figure here, a 7.0 g bullet moving directly upward at 870 m/s strikes and passes through the center of mass of a 6.8 kg block initially at rest. The bullet emerges from the block moving directly upward at 410 m/s. To what maximum height does the block then rise above its initial position?
A gymnast jumps straight up, with her center of mass moving at 3.99 m/s as she leaves the ground. How high above this point is her center of mass at the following times? (Ignore the effects of air resistance, and assume the initial height of her center of mass is at y = 0.) t (s) y (m) 0.100 0.200 0.300 0.500
A bullet of mass 0.0366kg and an initial speed of 353m/s is fired through a block of material with a thickness of 0.435m. The average force exerted on the bullet as it passes through the block has a magnitude of 1439N. What is the speed of the bullet, in meters per second, after passing through the block? The block is firmly fixed in place, so it does not move from its initial position
Block 1, with mass m1 and speed 5.2 m/s, slides along an x axis on a frictionless floor and then undergoes a one-dimensional elastic collision with stationary block 2, with mass m2 = 0.33m1. The two blocks then slide into a region where the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.32; there they stop. How far into that region do (a) block 1 and (b) block 2 slide?
