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.

The figure shows the velocity of an object for 0 ≤ t ≤ 24. Calculate the following estimates of the distance the object travels between t = 0 and t = 24, and indicate whether each result is an upper or lower estimate of the distance traveled. (a) A left sum with n = 2 subdivisions NOTE: Enter units that match those on the graph. The distance traveled is estimated to be This is (b) A right sum with n = 2 subdivisions. NOTE: Enter units that match those on the graph. The distance traveled is estimated to be This is

A mass-spring system consists of a m = 1.76 kg block connected to a spring of spring constant, k = 283 N/m and resting on a frictionless surface. The spring not stretched with the block resting at its equilibrium position. At t = 0 s, the block is instantaneously smacked from the left so that it moves to the right at a distance A = 0.240 m from its equilibrium position before rebounding. Determine an expression for the kinetic energy of the spring as a function of v.
