Review. This problem extends the reasoning of Problem 41 in Chapter 9. Two gliders are set in motion on an air track. Glider 1 has mass m1 = 0.240 kg and moves to the right with speed 0.740 m/s. It will have a rear-end collision with glider 2, of mass m2 = 0.360 kg, which initially moves to the right with speed 0.120 m/s. A light spring of force constant 45.0 N/m is attached to the back end of glider 2 as shown in Figure P9.41. When glider 1 touches the spring, superglue instantly and permanently makes it stick to its end of the spring. (a) Find the common speed the two gliders have when the spring is at maximum compression. (b) Find the maximum spring compression distance. The motion after the gliders become attached consists of a combination of (1) the constant-velocity motion of the center of mass of the two-glider system found in part (a) and (2) simple harmonic motion of the gliders relative to the center of mass. (c) Find the energy of the center-of-mass motion. (d) Find the energy of the oscillation.
A 2.00-kg object hangs, at rest, on a 1.00-m-long string attached to the ceiling. A 100-g mass is fired with a speed of 20 m/s at the 2.00-kg mass, and the 100.00-g mass collides perfectly elastically with the 2.00-kg mass. Write an equation for the motion of the hanging mass after the collision. Assume air resistance is negligible.
A 3.45-g bullet embeds itself in a 1.67-kg block, which is attached to a spring of force constant 785 N/m.1) If the maximum compression of the spring is 5.48 cm, find the initial speed of the bullet. v0= (?) m/s2) Find the time for the bullet-block system to come to rest. t= (?)s
A 15.00-g bullet moving with an initialspeed of 300.0 m/s is fired into and passes through a3.00-kg block, as shown in the figure. The block,initially at rest on a frictionless horizontal surface, isconnected to a spring with a spring constant of 1000.0N/m.
A 5.00 gram bullet into a 1.00 kg block attached to a spring [k=900 N/m]. The bullet emerges through the block on the other side. If the block moves 5.00 cm to the right before it stops, what is the final velocity of the bullet?
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. (Figure 1) 1) Find the magnitude of the block's velocity just after impact. 2) What was the initial speed of the bullet?
A 25 kg mass rests on a spring that has a spring coefficient if 200 N/cm. How muchdoes the spring deflect under action of the mass?
A 12.0-g bullet is fired horizontally into a 109-g wooden block that is initially at rest on a frictionless horizontal surface and connected to a spring having spring constant 144 N/m. The bullet becomes embedded in the block. If the bullet-block system compresses the spring by a maximum of 87.0 cm, what was the speed of the bullet at impact with the block? m/s

6) A massless spring, with force constant k=191N/m, connects a wall and a block of wood. The system is initially at rest with the spring neither stretched nor compressed. The block has mass M=54.2g and is free to move without friction on a table. A gun is positioned to fire a bullet of mass m=6.86g into the block along the spring axis. After the gun is fired, the bullet gets embedded in the block, and the spring is compressed a maximum distance d=0.857m. b) What is the speed, in meters per second, of the bullet before it enters the block? c) What is the frequency, in hertz, of the resulting periodic motion of the block/bullet and spring system?
A 12g bullet is fired horizontally against a 100 g wooden block resting on a rough horizontal surface, connected to a spring without a 150N/m constant mass If the bullet-block system compresses the spring 0.8m What was the speed of the bullet just entering the block?Assume that the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the surface is 0.6
A 12.0-g bullet is fired horizontally into a 112-g wooden block that is initially at rest on a frictionless horizontal surface and connected to a spring having spring constant 149 N/m. The bullet becomes embedded in the block. If the bullet-block system compresses the spring by a maximum of 77.0 cm, what was the speed of the bullet at impact with the block? Answer should be in m/s.
