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 block/bullet to oscillate with an amplitude of 0.210 m. What is the speed of the bullet?

A 10.0-g bullet is fired into, and embeds itself in, a 1.85-kg block attached to a spring with a force constant of 22.4 N/m and whose mass is negligible. How far is the spring compressed if the bullet has a speed of 300 m/s just before it strikes the block and the block slides on a frictionless surface? Note: You must use conservation of momentum in this problem because of the inelastic collision between the bullet and block. (No Response)...

A 0.0111-kg bullet is fired straight up at a falling wooden block that has a mass of 3.34 kg. The bullet has a speed of 759 m/s when it strikes the block. The block originally was dropped from rest from the top of a building and had been falling for a time t when the collision with the bullet occurs. As a result of the collision, the block (with the bullet in it) reverses direction, rises, and comes to a...
