A bullet of mass 4.00 gg is fired horizontally into a wooden block of mass 1.14 kgkg resting on a horizontal surface. The coefficient of kinetic friction between block and surface is 0.170. The bullet remains embedded in the block, which is observed to slide a distance 0.270 mm along the surface before stopping.

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...
