15.0 kg block is attached to a very light horizontal spring of force constant 475 N/m and is resting on a smooth horizontal table (Figure 1). Suddenly it is struck by a 3.00 kg stone traveling horizontally at 3.00 m/s to the right, whereupon the stone rebounds at 2.00 m/s horizontally to the left. Part A Find the maximum distance that the block will compress the spring after the collision. (Hint: Break this problem into two parts - the collision and the behavior after the collision - and apply the appropriate conservation law to each part.) Express your answer in meters.

Cart 1 has a mass of 1.4 kg and is moving on a track at 36.4 cm/s [E] towards cart 2. The mass of cart 2 is 4.8 kg and it is moving toward cart 1 at 42.6 cm/s [W]. The cart collide. The collision is cushioned by a Hooke's law spring, making it an elastic head-on collision. Calculate the final velocity of each cart after the collision.
1. A riffle bullet with mass 8.00 g strikes and embeds itself in a block of mass 0.992 kg that rests on a frictionless, horizontal surface and is attached to a coil spring (Figure 1).

In a ballistic pendulum an object of mass m is fired with an initial speed v0 at a pendulum bob. The bob has a mass M, which is suspended by a rod of length L and negligible mass. After the collision, the pendulum and object stick together and swing to a maximum angular displacement θ theta as shown (Figure 1). Find an expression for v0, the initial speed of the fired object. (Express your answer in terms of some or all of the variables m, M, L, and θ theta and the acceleration due to gravity, g.) An experiment is done to compare the initial speed of bullets fired from different handguns: a 9.0 m and a .44 caliber. The guns are fired into a 10-kg pendulum bob of length L. Assume that the 9.0-m bullet has a mass of 6.0 g and the .44-caliber bullet has a mass of 12 g . If the 9.0-m bullet causes the pendulum to swing to a maximum angular displacement of 4.3 degree and the .44-caliber bullet causes a displacement of 10.1 degrees , find the ratio of the initial speed of the 9.0-m…
