A 50 g bullet moving horizontally strikes a stationary 3 kg mass resting on a smooth horizontal surface. The 3 kg is attached to a spring and the other end of the spring is attached to a vertical wall. if the masses remain stuck after the collision and undergo a maximum compression of 7 cm, find the velocity of the bullet. Assume spring constant is 100 N/m

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 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...

A 5.14-g bullet is moving horizontally with a velocity of +342 m/s, where the sign + indicates that it is moving to the right (see part a of the drawing). The bullet is approaching two blocks resting on a horizontal frictionless surface. Air resistance is negligible. The bullet passes completely through the first block (an inelastic collision) and embeds itself in the second one, as indicated in part b. Note that both blocks are moving after the collision with the...

A 0.0392-kg bullet is fired horizontally into a 2.04-kg wooden block attached to one end of a massless, horizontal spring (k = 838 N/m). The other end of the spring is fixed in place, and the spring is unstrained initially. The block rests on a horizontal, frictionless surface. The bullet strikes the block perpendicularly and quickly comes to a halt within it. As a result of this completely inelastic collision, the spring is compressed along its axis and causes the...
