In Figure (1), a 3.50 g bullet is fired horizontally at two blocks at rest on a frictionless table. The bullet passes through block 1 (mass 1.44 kg) and embeds itself in block 2 (mass 1.97 kg). The blocks end up with speeds v1 = 0.610 m/s and v2 = 1.38 m/s (see Figure (2)). Neglecting the material removed from block 1 by the bullet, find the speed of the bullet as it (a) leaves and (b) enters block 1. (1) (2) (a) Number Units (b) Number Units

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

In the figure, block 2 (mass 1.70 kg ) is at rest on a frictionless surface and touching the end of an unstretched spring of spring constant 294 N/m. The other end of the spring is fixed to a wall. Block 1 (mass 1.10 kg ), traveling at speed v1 = 5.70 m/s, collides with block 2, and the two blocks stick together. When the blocks momentarily stop, by what distance is the spring compressed?

A block of mass M = 5.10 kg, at rest on a horizontal frictionless table, is attached to a rigid support by a spring of constant k = 6190 N/m. A bullet of mass m = 8.20 g and velocity v→ of magnitude 620 m/s strikes and is embedded in the block (see the figure below). Assuming the compression of the spring is negligible until the bullet is embedded, determine (a) the speed of the block immediately after the collision and (b) the amplitude of the resulting simple harmonic motion.
