A pendulum is attached to the ceiling by two 1.7 m long strings. The 30 kg block is composed of wood and can be used to measure the initial speed of a 40 g bullet, by finding the height, h, for the resulting block’s swing after the bullet hits. If the strings attached to the block swing to a maximum angle of 4.7° with respect to the vertical, find

A) The potential energy of the system (bullet and block) at the top of the swing.

B) The kinetic energy of the system (bullet and block) immediately after the impact.

C) The velocity of the system (bullet and block) immediately after impact.

D) The initial velocity of the bullet.

E) Is there any energy dissipated to the environment from the bullet/block system during this process? If so how?

A bullet with mass m(lowercase m) is fired into a block of wood with mass M(uppercase M), suspended like a pendulum, and makes a completely inelastic collision with it. After the impact of the bullet, the block swings up to a maximum height h. Given the values of h = 5.00 cm = 0.0500 m, m = 6.75 g = 0.00675 kg, and M = 2.50 kg, (a) What is the (initial) velocity v_x of the bullet in m/s? (b)...

1. You shoot a bullet of mass m=0.025 kg into a wood box of mass M=1.7 kg which initially is at rest. After the impact, the wood with embedded bullet moves to the flat top of the hill, and it continues its motion on the top. Initial speed of the bullet before collision is vo=560 m/s. The height of the hill is h=0.3 m. The surface has no friction. At what speed the wooden block moves on the top of...

A bullet with mass 25 g and initial horizontal velocity 320 m/s strikes a block of mass 2 kg that rests on a frictionless surface and is attached to one end of a spring. The bullet becomes embedded in the block. The other end of the spring is attached to the wall. The impact compress the spring a maximum distance of 25 cm . After the impact, the block moves in simple harmonic motion. 1. What is the frequency of...
