A pellet gun fires into a stationary block of wood that is attached to a spring...
A pellet gun fires into a stationary block of wood that is attached to a spring on a frictionless surface. When the bullet enters the wood, it remains inside, and the bullet and the block enter into simple harmonic motion with amplitude = 11.0 cm. The bullet (m = 5 grams) was initially traveling at 650 m/s before hitting the block of wood (m = 2.5 kg). a) What is the spring constant of the spring? b) What is the...

Two identical pellet guns are fired simultaneously from the edge of a cliff. These guns impart an initial speed of 30 m/s to each pellet. Gun A is fired straight upward with the pellet eventually hitting the ground beneath the cliff. Gun b is fired straight downward. Ignore air resistance. Assume g=10 m/s/s. A. How long after pellet B hits the ground does pellet A hit. B. If the pellet hits the ground with an impact speed of 60 m/s,...

Review Conceptual Example 15 before attempting this problem. Two identical pellet guns are fired simultaneously from the edge of a cliff. These guns impart an initial speed of 22.3 m/s to each pellet. Gun A is fired straight upward, with the pellet going up and then falling back down, eventually hitting the ground beneath the cliff. Gun B is fired straight downward. In the absence of air resistance, how long after pellet B hits the ground does pellet A hit...

A gun fires 8 bullets per second into a target X. If the mass of each bullet is 3 g and its speed 600 m/s. Then, calculate the total mechanical power delivered by the bullets. Which type of energy is produced by the bullet. Explain, how law of conservation of energy is true here.

An air gun fires a bullet by means of compressed air. Simplistically, an air gun can be viewed as a metal cylindrical tube open on one end and plugged air-tight in the middle by the bullet, which is held in place by a trigger. The space between the bullet and the blind end is filled with compressed air. When the trigger is released, the compressed air undergoes a sudden expansion against ambient pressure, pushing the bullet out of the tube...

A 8.00 ? 107 kg battleship originally at rest fires a 1000 kg artillery shell horizontally with a velocity of +675 m/s. (a) If the shell is fired straight aft, there will be negligible friction opposing the ships recoil velocity. Calculate its recoil velocity.   m/s (b) Calculate the increase in internal kinetic energy (that is, for the ship and the shell). This is less than the energy released by the gun powder -- significant heat is generated. J
