On Earth, a block of mass m is attached to a spring and immersed in a liquid. As the block moves, the liquid always exerts a force with a constant magnitude Fd but pointing opposite to the direction of motion. The spring has a relaxed length L0 and stiffness ks. As shown in the diagram, the block is initially released from rest when the length of the spring is 2∗L0. The bottom surface supporting the block is frictionless. Assume that the positive x-axis points to the right. Determine the new velocity of the block T seconds after leaving your hand. Assume T is small enough that the direction of the force doesn't change through this time period. Express your answer as a vector in terms of m, L, L0, ks, Fd and T. Determine the new net force on the block T seconds after leaving your hand. Assume T is small enough that the direction of the force doesn't change through this time period. Express your answer as a vector in terms of m, L, L0, ks, Fd and T.

A 4.41-g bullet is moving horizontally with a velocity of +354 m/s, where the sign + indicates that it is moving to the right (see part a of the drawing). The bullet is approaching two blocks resting on a horizontal frictionless surface. Air resistance is negligible. The bullet passes completely through the first block (an inelastic collision) and embeds itself in the second one, as indicated in part b. Note that both blocks are moving after the collision with the bullet. The mass of the first block is 1199 g, and its velocity is +0.644 m/s after the bullet passes through it. The mass of the second block is 1576 g . (a) What is the velocity of the second block after the bullet imbeds itself? (b) Find the ratio of the total kinetic energy after the collision to that before the collision. (a) Before collision (b) After collision (a) vblock2 = Number Units (b) KEafter/KEbefore = Number Units

A block, whose mass is 0.620 kg, is attached to a spring with a force constant of 128 N/m. The block rests upon a frictionless, horizontal surface (shown in the figure below). The block is pulled to the right a distance A = 0.120 m from its equilibrium position (the vertical dashed line) and held motionless. The block is then released from rest. (a) At the instant of release, what is the magnitude of the spring force (in N) acting upon the block? N (b) At that very instant, what is the magnitude of the block's acceleration (in m/s2 )? m/s2 (c) In what direction does the acceleration vector point at the instant of release? Away from the equilibrium position (i. e. , to the right in the figure). The direction is not defined (i.e., the acceleration is zero). Toward the equilibrium position (i.e., to the left in the figure). You cannot tell without more information.
