The figure above shows a bullet of mass 200 g traveling horizontally towards the east with a speed of 400 m/s, which strikes a block of mass 1.5 kg that is initially at rest on a frictionless table. After striking the block, the bullet is embedded in the block and the block and the bullet move together as one unit. What is the magnitude and direction of the block/bullet combination immediately after impact? 25 m/s east 36 m/s west 47 m/s east 58 m/s west

As shown in the figure, a block of mass 5.80 kg, initially at rest on a horizontal surface without friction, is attached to a spring with k = 6.84×103 N/m. The spring is fixed at its other end. A bullet of mass 8.30 grams and velocity v = 810 m/s hits the block and embeds itself. Assume the compression of the spring is negligible until the bullet is embedded within the block (the spring is in its relaxed state). What is the speed of the block immediately after the collision? v = m/s What is the amplitude of simple harmonic motion resulting from the collision? xm = m

A large block of mass M is at rest on a frictionless surface and is connected to a spring with force constant k. The spring is initially in its relaxed, equilibrium position. A second block with mass m approaches the first with a speed v0. After they collide, the blocks stick together (due to magnets embedded in the blocks) and move to the right, compressing the spring. Between the initial situation shown above, and the final position when the spring is at maximum compression, which of the following quantities are conserved? Explain your reasoning. Momentum only Energy only Both energy and momentum Neither energy nor momentum B. (10 points) What is the maximum compression of the spring?
