A 6 000-kg freight car rolls along rails with negligible friction. The car is brought to rest by a combination of two coiled springs as illustrated in Figure P6.27 (page 188). Both springs are described by Hookes law and have spring constants k1 = 1 600 N/m and k2, = 3 400 N/m. After the first spring compresses a distance of 30.0 cm, the second spring acts with the first to increase the force as additional compression occurs as shown in the graph. The car comes to rest 50.0 cm after first contacting the two-spring system. Find the cars initial speed.
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.
Consider a springwith a force constant of 955 N>m. (a) Suppose the mass of theblock is 1.70 kg, but its initial speed can be varied.

What mass is required to give a maximum springcompression of 4.00 cm?
A toy gun uses a spring with a force constant of 295 N/m to propel a 11-g steel ball. Assuming the spring is compressed 7.4 cm and friction is negligible, answer the following questions: What is the magnitude of the force, in Newton, that is needed to compress the spring? What is the maximum height, in meters, to which the ball can be shot? What is the gun’s maximum range, in meters, on level ground?
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 block of mass m = 3.9 kg slides on a horizontal rough surface head on into a spring of spring constant k = 370 N/m, as shown in Figure. When the block is x = 1.4 meter away from the spring, it has a velocity v. When the block stops, it has compressed the spring by 5.5 cm. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the surface is 0.15. What is the block's velocity v (in m/s)? Provide your answer with 2 decimal places. Take g = 9.81 m/s2

A 5.00 gram bullet is fired at a velocity of 400 m/s 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?

An 8 g bullet is shot into a 4.0 kg block, at rest on a frictionless horizontal surface. The bullet remains lodged in the block. The block moves into a spring and compresses it by 3.7 cm.
