A mass sits on a frictionless horizontal surface and is attached to a wall by a horizontal spiral spring, as shown in the figure. When the spring is compressed (block moved to x = −6.0 cm) and released, it executes simple harmonic motion with a frequency of 1.25 Hz. a) Determine the position of the block at t = 0.5 s. b) Find the distance the block has moved during the first 0.5 seconds. c) Draw, in the space provided, a graph showing the velocity of the block vs time for the first complete oscillation. Include relevant data on the axes.

A bullet is fired horizontally at a stationary 7.0 kg target. The target sits on a frictionless horizontal surface and is connected to a spring on the backside of the target. The spring has a spring constant of 5000 N/m. The 11.0 g bullet is traveling horizontally at 675 m/s the moment before it strikes the target. After 1 ms, the bullet is embedded into the target and begins to oscillate. Ignore air resistance. (a) Determine the speed of the block immediately after the collision. Hint: what quantity is conserved during the collision? (b) Find the period and amplitude of the resulting simple harmonic motion. (c) Find the initial phase of the resulting simple harmonic motion. Hint: note that the block is at its equilibrium position x = 0 at t = 0. (d) On three separate graphs, plot the position vs. time, velocity vs. time, and acceleration vs. time for the system starting when the bullet is fully embedded into the target. Be sure to clearly label your axes and the scale of each graph. (e) On a single graph, plot the potential energy, kinetic energy, and total mechanical energy as a function of time for the system starting when the bullet is fully embedded into the target. Be sure to clearly label your axes and the scale of your graph.

A block of mass m slides on a frictionless wedge that makes an angle of π/4 to the horizontal. The wedge, with mass M, sits on a frictionless horizontal surface and is connected to a fixed point by a horizontal spring with force constant k and unstretched length a. Analyse this system in a similar manner to lectures, to answer the following: (a) Write the Lagranian for this system. (b) Use the Lagrangian to derive equations of motion for the block and the wedge. (c) Show that the wedge undergoes simple harmonic motion, with an angular frequency that can be written ω = k M + m(1 − 1 2)

Review. A large block P attached to a light spring executes horizontal, simple harmonic motion as it slides across a frictionless surface with a frequency f = 1.50 Hz. Block B rests on it as shown in Figure P12.47, and the coefficient of static friction between the two is μs = 0.600. What maximum amplitude of oscillation can the system have if block B is not to slip? Figure P12.47 Problems 47 and 48.
