In the figure, block 2 (mass 1.60 kg) is at rest on a frictionless surface and touching the end of an unstretched spring of spring constant 214 N/m. The other end of the spring is fixed to a wall. Block 1 (mass 1.60 kg), traveling at speed v₁ = 5.30 m/s, collides with block 2, and the two blocks stick together. When the blocks momentarily stop, by what distance is the spring compressed?

A hockey puck of mass 150 g is sliding due east on a frictionless table with a speed of 10 m/s. Suddenly, a constant force of magnitude 5 N and direction due north is applied to the puck for 1.5 s. Find the north and east components of the momentum at the end of the 1.3-s interval.
A 5.00-g bullet moving with an initial speed of v = 400 m/s is fired into and passes through a 1.00-kg block as shown in Figure P8.57. 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 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.

In an elastic collision of two particles with masses m1 and m2, the initial velocities are u1 and u2 = u1. If the initial kinetic energies of the two particles are equal, find the conditions on u1/u2 and m1/m2 such that m1 is at rest after the collision. Examine both cases for the sign of .
Initially, ball 1 rests on an incline of height h, and ball 2 rests on an incline of height h/2 as shown in Figure P11.40. They are released from rest simultaneously and collide elastically in the trough of the track. If m2 = 4 m1, m1 = 0.045 kg, and h = 0.65 m, what is the velocity of each ball after the collision?

In the figure, block 2 (mass 1.70 kg) is at rest on a frictionless surface and touching the end of an unstretched spring of spring constant 218 N/m. The other end of the spring is fixed to a wall.

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. Assume the spring is massless and the surface horizontal and frictionless. See the figure below. If the collision is completely elastic, what are the final speeds V1 and V2 of m1 and m2, respectively?

In the figure, particle 1 of mass m1 = 3.4 kg slides rightward along an x axis on a frictionless floor with a speed of 4.0 m/s.When it reaches x = 0, it undergoes a one-dimensional elastic collision with stationary particle 2 of mass m2 = 4.5 kg. When particle 2 then reaches a wall at xw = 73 cm, it bounces from the wall with no loss of speed. At what position on the x-axis does particle 2 then collide with particle 1?
