A rifle bullet with mass 15.0 g strikes and embeds itself in a block of mass 1.500 kg that rests on a frictionless, horizontal surface and is attached to a coil spring. The spring was relaxed at the beginning. The spring constant is 550 N/m. The initial velocity of the bullet was 700 m/s. The impact compresses the spring by x (see figure below). 1) Find the magnitude of the block's velocity (with the bullet stuck inside) after the impact...

A rifle bullet with mass 8.00 g strikes and embeds itself in a block with a mass of 0.992 kg that rests on a frictionless, horizontal surface and is attached to a coil spring. (See (Figure 1).) The impact compresses the spring 15.0 cm . Calibration of the spring shows that a force of 0.650 N is required to compress the spring 0.200 cm . Find the magnitude of the block's velocity just after impact (m/s) What was the initial...

A bullet of mass 1.4×10−3 kg embeds itself in a wooden block with mass 0.987 kg , which then compresses a spring (k = 130 N/m ) by a distance 5.5×10−2 m before coming to rest. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and table is 0.46. a)What is the initial speed of the bullet? b)What fraction of the bullet's initial kinetic energy is dissipated (in damage to the wooden block, rising temperature, etc.) in the collision between the...

A small bullet of mass m=0.27g and speed v=13m/s embeds in a block of mass M=0.98kg suspended by a massless string of length L, after a collision as shown in the figure. If the bullet will appear on the other side of the block M with a speed v'=3.6m/s, instead of being embedded in it, find the maximum height the block M can reach. (Take g=9.81 m/s2). Express your answer using two decimal places.

A small bullet of mass m=0.73g and speed v=13.5m/s embeds in a block of mass M=0.69kg suspended by a massless string of length L, after a collision as shown in the figure. If the bullet will appear on the other side of the block M with a speed v'=5.6m/s, instead of being embedded in it, find the maximum height the block Mcan reach. (Take g=9.81 m/s2). Express your answer using two decimal places.

A small wooden block with mass 0.750 kg is suspended from the lower end of a light cord that is 1.72 m long. The block is initially at rest. A bullet with mass 0.0136 kg is fired at the block with a horizontal velocity v0. The bullet strikes the block and becomes embedded in it. After the collision the combined object swings on the end of the cord. When the block has risen a vertical height of 0.700 m ,...

A 0.0200 kg bullet moving horizontally at 400 m/s embeds itself into an initially stationary 0.500 kg block. (a) What is their velocity just after the collision? m/s (b) The bullet-embedded block slides 8.0 m on a horizontal surface with a 0.30 kinetic coefficient of friction. Now what is its velocity? m/s (c) The bullet-embedded block now strikes and sticks to a stationary 2.00 kg block. How far does this combination travel before stopping? m
