A 5.00-kg block is moving at 5.00 m/s along a horizontal frictionless surface toward an ideal massless spring that is attached to a wall. After the block collides with the spring, the spring is compressed a maximum distance of 0.68 m. What is the speed of the block when it has moved so that the spring is compressed to only one-half of the maximum distance?

14.34 . A 2.00-kg frictionless block is attached to an ideal spring with force constant 315 N/m. Initially the spring is neither stretched nor compressed, but the block is moving in the negative direction at 12.0 m/s. Find (a) the amplitude of the motion, (b) the block's maximum acceleration, and (c) the maximum force the spring exerts on the block.


The two blocks I and II shown above have mass of m and2mrespectively. Block II as an ideal massless spring attached tooneside. When block I is placed on the spring as shown in figure(a),the spring is compressed a distance D at equilibrium. Expressyouranswer to all parts of this question in terms of thegivenquantities and the physical constants.
a) Determine the spring constant of the spring.
Latter the two blocks are on frictionless horizontalsurface.Block II is stationary and block I approaches with thespeed of V,as shown in the figure b,c,d.
b) The spring compression is a maximum when the blocks havethesame velocity. Briefly explain why is this so.
c) Determine the maximum compression of the spring duringthecollision.
d) Determine the velocity of the block II after thecollision,when block I has seperated from the spring.

A 8.80 10-3 kg bullet is fired horizontally into a 2.37 kg woodenblock attached to one end of a massless, horizontal spring (k = 855N/m). The other end of the spring is fixed in place, and the springis unstrained initially. The block rests on a horizontal,frictionless surface. The bullet strikes the block perpendicularlyand quickly comes to a halt with in it. As a result of thiscompletely inelastic collision, the spring is compressed along itsaxis and causes the block/bullet to oscillate with an amplitude of0.200 m. What is the speed of the bullet?
