An bullet of mass m = 8.00 g is fired into a block of mass M = 250 g that is initially at rest at the edge of a table of height h = 1.00 m (Fig. P6.42). The bullet remains in the block, and after the impact the block lands d = 2.00 m from the bottom of the table. Determine the initial speed of the bullet. Figure P6.42

A superball of mass M and a marble of mass m are dropped from a height h with the marble just on top of the superball. A superball has a coefficient of restitution of nearly 1 (i.e., its collision is essentially elastic). Ignore the sizes of the superball and marble. The superball collides with the floor, rebounds, and smacks the marble, which moves back up. How high does the marble go if all the motion is vertical? How high does the superball go?
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

Consider a frictionless track as shown in Figure P6.62. A block of mass m1 = 5.00 kg is released from . It makes a head-on elastic collision at with a block of mass m2= 10.0 kg that is initially at rest. Calculate the maximum height to which m1 rises after the collision. Figure P6.62
A block with mass m1 = 0.500 kg is released from rest on a frictionless track at a distance h1, = 2.50 m above the top of a table. It then collides elastically with an object having mass m2 = 1.00 kg that is initially at rest on the table, as shown in Figure P6.71. (a) Determine the velocities of the two objects just after the collision. (b) How high up the track does the 0.500-kg object travel back after the collision? (c) How far away from the bottom of the table does the1.00-kg object land, given that the height of the table h2 = 2.00 m? (d) How far away from the bottom of the table does the 0.500-kg object eventually band? Figure P6.71
