A rifle bullet with mass 8.00 g strikes and embeds itself in a block with mass 0.992 kg that rests on a frictionless horizontal surface and is attached to a coil spring constant 1500N/m. The impact compresses the spring 15.0.cm.

PartA: Find the magnitude of the block's velocity just after impact.

Part B: What was the initial speed of the bullet? m/s

A 12.0 g bullet is fired horizontally from a rifle begins to penetrate into a wooden block of mass 100.0 g initially at rest on a frictionless horizontal surface and connected to a spring having spring constant 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?

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. Ineed to find the velocity of the bullet when it strikes theblock???

A bullet is fired into and embeds itself in, a 2 kg block attached to a spring of spring constant of and having a negligible mass. How far is the spring compressed if the bullet has a speed of 300 m/s just before it strikes the block and the block slides on a frictionless surface?
