A bullet of mass 15g is released from a catapult who's rubber has been stretched through 5cm. If the force of the rubber 150Nm^-1 calculate the speed at which the bullet leaves the catapult?
Using the work-energy theorem, we know
Re-arranging the terms, to find the velocity
The speed is 5 m/s.

Conservation of Energy 1 Slingshot /Catapult An ordinary rubber band, similar to the ones we used in lab, has a spring constant of 90 N/m The rubber band is used to launch a small stone. Suppose the rubber band is extended 10 cm beyond its rest position when the stone is launched, and assume that the mass of the stone is 5 g (a) Find the force needed to stretch the rubber band to 10 cm (b) Assuming that all...
2.) A bullet (15g) traveling with an initial speed of 500 m/s passes through a block (800g) initially at rest. A) What is the final speed of the block if the bullet is now traveling with a speed of 420 m/s after it has exited the block (assume there is no loss of mass for the block when the bullet passes through the block)? (5pts) 500 m's 420 m/s Before Collision After Collision B) Since this is an inelastic collision,...
The system is released from
rest with the spring initially stretched 5.8 in. Calculate the
velocity v of the cylinder after it has dropped 1.5 in. The spring
has a stiffness of 3.5 lb/in. Neglect the mass of the small
pulley.

A force of 30N is required to hold a spring that has been stretched from its natural length of 10 cm to a length of 18 cm. Calculate the spring constant,
When a .22-caliber rifle is fired, the expanding gas from the burning gunpowder creates a pressure behind the bullet. This pressure causes the force that pushes the bullet through the barrel. The barrel has a length of 0.61 m and an opening whose radius is 2.8 103 m. A bullet (mass 2.6 103 kg) has a speed of 370 m/s after passing through this barrel. Ignore friction and determine the average pressure of the expanding gas.
A small block of mass m1 is released from rest at the top of a
curve-shaped, frictionless
wedge which sits on a frictionless horizontal surface as
shown. The height of the wedge
is h = 5 m. When the block leaves the wedge its velocity
relative to the ground is
measured to be 4.00 m/s to the right as shown in the figure.
If the mass of the block is
doubled to become 2m1, what will be its speed when...
A force of 150 lb is required to hold a spring that has been stretched from its natural length of 1 ft to 3 ft. How much work is done in stretching the spring from 3 ft to 5 ft?
A rifle has a 0.610 m long barrel. When fired, a bullet with a mass of 11.0 g accelerates from rest and exits the barrel at a speed of 850 m/s. What is the net force on the bullet (in N) while it is in the barrel? ( Enter the magnitude. Assume a constant acceleration)

One bullet has twice the mass of a second bullet. If both are fired so that they have the same speed, which has more kinetic energy? What is the ratio of the kinetic energies of the two bullets? Options: - The one with the greatest mass has more kinetic energy but the reason for these energies cannot be predicted - the one with twice the mass has greater kinetic energy and the reason for these energies is equal 2. -...
