A 12.0-g bullet is fired horizontally into a 100-g wooden block that is initially at rest on a frictionless horizontal surface and connected to a spring having spring constant of 150 N/m. The bullet becomes embedded in the block. If the bullet-block system compresses the spring by a maximum of 80.0 cm, what was the speed of the bullet at impact with the block?

A 5-g bullet, moving with an initial speed of 400 m/s, is fired into and passes through a 1kg block. The block, initially at rest on a frictionless, horizontal surface, is connected to a spring of force constant 900 N/m. If the block moves 5 cm to the right after impact, find the speed at which the bullet emerges from the block.

Agent Arlene devised the following method of measuring themuzzle velocity of a rifle. She fires a bullet into a 4.500-kgwooden block resting on a smooth surface, and attached to a springof spring constant k = 139.0 N/m. The bullet, whose mass is 7.700kg, remains embedded in the wooden block. She measures the maximumdistance that the block compresses the spring to be 9.460 cm.

A 5.00-g bullet moving with an initial speed of υi = 400 m/s is fired into and passes through a 1.00-kg block as shown in Fig­ure P9.89. The block, initially at rest on a frictionless, horizontal surface, is connected to a spring with force constant 900 N/m. The block moves d = 5.00 cm to the right after impact before being brought to rest by the spring. Find (a) the speed at which the bullet emerges from the block and (b) the amount of initial kinetic energy of the bullet that is converted into internal energy in the bullet-block system during the collision.
