An arrow is fired with a speed of 16.0 m/s at a block of Styrofoamresting on a smooth surface. The arrow penetrates a certaindistance into the block before coming to rest relative to it.During this process the arrow's deceleration has a magnitude of1500 m/s2 and the block's acceleration has a magnitude of 450m/s2
(a) How long does it take for the arrow to stop moving with respectto the block?
s

(b) What is the common speed of the arrow and block when thishappens?
m/s

(c) How far into the block does the arrow penetrate?
m

A block with a mass of 0.600 kg is placed on a horizontalfrictionless surface, and then attached to a spring with a springconstant of 2.00 N/m. The system is then set into motion, so thatthe block experiences simple harmonic motion with an amplitude of20.0 cm.

(a) Find the speed of the block when it is a distance of 7.00 cmfrom the equilibrium position. (m/s)

(b) Find the magnitude of the block's acceleration when the blockis at a distance of 7.00 cm from the equilibrium position.(m/s2)

(c) Find the smallest amount of time it takes the block to movefrom a position of 20.0 cm from equilibrium to a position that isjust 7.00 cm from equilibrium. (s)

A 2.7-kg block is released from rest and allowed to slide down africtionless surface and into a spring. The far end of the springis attached to a wall, as shown. The initial height of the block is0.60 m above the lowest part of the slide and the spring constantis 407 N/m.

(a) What is the block's speed when it is at a height of 0.25 mabove the base of the slide?
m/s

(b) How far is the spring compressed?
m

(c) The spring sends the block back to the left. How high does theblock rise?
m

A bullet of mass 4 g moving with an initial
speed 500 m/s is fired into and passes through
a block of mass 8 kg, as shown in the figure.

horizontal surface, is connected to a spring of
force constant 430 N/m.

a)If the block moves a distance 1.8 cm to the
right after the bullet passed through it, find
the speed v at which the bullet emerges from
the block.
Answer in units of m/s.
