    A bullet of mass 1.8×10−3 kg embeds itself in a wooden block with mass 0.987 kg , which then compresses a spring (k = 150 N/m ) by a distance 5.5×10−2 m before coming to rest. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and table is 0.54. What is the initial speed of the bullet? Vinit==? What fraction of the bullet's initial kinetic energy is dissipated (in damage to the wooden block, rising temperature, etc.) in the collision between...

    A bullet of mass 2.0×10−3 kg embeds itself in a wooden block with mass 0.996 kg , which then compresses a spring (k = 120 N/m ) by a distance 4.5×10−2 m before coming to rest. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and table is 0.49. A) What is the initial speed of the bullet? B) What fraction of the bullet's initial kinetic energy is dissipated (in damage to the wooden block, rising temperature, etc.) in the collision...

  • A bullet with a mass mb=12.3 g is fired into a block of wood at velocity vb=245 m/s.

    A bullet with a mass mb=12.3 g is fired into a block of wood at velocity vb=245 m/s. The block is attached to a spring that has a spring constant k of 205 N/m. The block and bullet continue to move, compressing the spring by 35.0 cm before the whole system momentarily comes to a stop. Assuming that the surface on which the block is resting is frictionless, determine the mass of the wooden block.

  • ​ A bullet with a mass mu = 11.9 g is fired into a block of wood at velocity up = 253 m/s.

     A bullet with a mass mu = 11.9 g is fired into a block of wood at velocity up = 253 m/s. The block is attached to a spring that has a spring constant k of 205 N/m. The block and bullet continue to move, compressing the spring by 35.0 cm before the whole system momentarily comes to a stop. Assuming that the surface on which the block is resting is frictionless, determine the mass mw of the wooden block. 

  • A 9.5-g bullet is fired into a stationary block of wood having mass m = 4.99...

    A 9.5-g bullet is fired into a stationary block of wood having mass m = 4.99 kg. The bullet imbeds into the block. The speed of the bullet-plus-wood combination immediately after the collision is 0.606 m/s. What was the original speed of the bullet?

  • What is the spring constant? A 0.01 kg bullet is fired at 300 m/s at a...

    What is the spring constant? A 0.01 kg bullet is fired at 300 m/s at a 4 kg block that is sitting at rest on a level frictionless surface. The bullet becomes completely embedded in the block. This combination then slides along the surface for 10 cm until it hits a massless spring. When the spring is compressed by 8 cm, the block/bullet combination is at rest. Find the spring constant of the spring.

    A 12.0-g bullet is fired horizontally into a 115-g wooden block that is initially at rest on a frictionless horizontal surface and connected to a spring having spring constant 146 N/m. The bullet becomes embedded in the block. If the bullet-block system compresses the spring by a maximum of 88.5 cm, what was the speed of the bullet at impact with the block?

    A 10.4-g bullet is fired into a stationary block of wood having mass m = 4.99 kg. The bullet imbeds into the block. The speed of the bullet-plus-wood combination immediately after the collision is 0.592 m/s. What was the original speed of the bullet? (Express your answer with four significant figures.)
