A 5.00-g bullet moving with an initial speed of i = 400 m/s is fired into and passes through a 1.00-kg block as shown in Figure P9.89. The block, initially at rest on a frictionless, horizontal surface, is connected to a spring with force constant 900 N/m. The block moves d = 5.00 cm to the right after impact before being brought to rest by the spring. Find (a) the speed at which the bullet emerges from the block and (b) the amount of initial kinetic energy of the bullet that is converted into internal energy in the bullet-block system during the collision.

A massless spring (with force constant k = 199 N/m) connects a wall and a block of wood. The system is initially at rest, with the spring unstretched.

A rifle bullet with mass 8.00 gg strikes and embeds itself in a block with mass 0.992 kgkg that rests on a frictionless, horizontal surface and is attached to an ideal spring. The impact compresses the spring 15.0 cmcm. Calibration of the spring shows that a force of 0.750 NN is required to compress the spring 0.250 cmcm.

The drawing shows a top view of a frictionless horizontal surface, where there are two springs with particles of mass m1 and m2 attached to them. Each spring has a spring constant of 250 N/m. The particles are pulled to the right and then released from the positions shown in the drawing. How much time passes before the particles are side by side for the first time at x = 0 m if (a) m1 = m2 = 6.0 kg and (b) m1 = 6.0 kg and m2 = 54 kg?
A mass m1 = 10.5 kg, with initial velocity V0 = 12.5 m/s, strikes a mass-spring system m2 = 7.25 kg, initially at rest but able to recoil.

If the collision is completely elastic, what are the final speeds V1 and V2 of m1 and m2, respectively?
A bullet with a mass m(b)=13.1 g is fired into a block of wood at velocity v(b)=261 m/s. The block is attached to a spring that has a spring constant k of 205 N/m.

Assuming that the surface on which the block is resting is frictionless, determine the mass m(w) of the wooden block.
