An 8.0-g bullet is shot into a 4.0-kg block, at rest on a frictionless horizontal surface (see the figure). The bullet remains lodged in the block. The block moves into an ideal massless spring and compresses it by 8.7 cm. The spring constant of the spring is 2400 N/m. The initial velocity of the bullet is closest to

A 12.0-g bullet is fired horizontally into a 116-g wooden block that is initially at rest on a frictionless horizontal surface and connected to a spring having spring constant 151 N/m. The bullet becomes embedded in the block. If the bullet-block system compresses the spring by a maximum of 81.0 cm, what was the speed of the bullet at impact with the block?

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...
