Question

Transcribed Image Text:15-61. The 15-kg block A slides on the surface for which
Hx = 0.3. The block has a velocity v = 10 m/s when it is

has a stiffness k = 1000 N/m, determine the maximum
compression of the spring due to the collision. Take e =0.6.

- Agent Arlene devised the following method of measuring the muzzle velocity of a rifle (Fig. 11-52 in the textbook). She fires a bullet into a 8.84-kg wooden block resting on a smooth surface, and attached to a spring of spring constant 359. N/m. The bullet, whose mass is 5.49 g, remains embedded in the wooden block. She measures the maxumum distance that the block compresses the spring to be 4.76 cm. What is the speed of the bullet (in m/s)?arrow_forwardA 0.430 kg block of wood rests on a horizontal frictionless surface and is attached to a spring (also horizontal) with a 26.0 N/m force constant that is at its equilibrium length. A 0.0600 kg wad of Play-Doh is thrown horizontally at the block with a speed of 2.60 m/s and sticks to it. Determine the amount in centimeters by which the Play-Doh-block system compresses the spring.arrow_forwardProblem 2 ( ). A very light spring with spring constant 200 N/m hangs vertically the ceiling with equilbrium length Lo = 6 cm. When a 300 g mass is attached to the end spring, the mass-spring system extends to a new equilibrium length. Lo y = 0 (a) What is the length L of the spring when the mass-spring system is in equilibrium?

- 14) A block of mass 0.20 kg is against a spring compressed 0.20 m with spring constant 70 N/m. When the spring is released, the block moves along the frictionless surface until entering a region with a coefficient of kinetic friction equal to 0.36 (when the block enters the friction region it is no longer in contact with the spring). How far, L, into the region with friction does the block slide before stopping? k = 70 N/m 0.36 Ax 0.20 m m = 0.20 kg Initial frictionless Ax Final ell frictionless Larrow_forwardA 10.0 g bullet is fired into and embeds itself in a 1.75 kg block attached to a spring with a spring constant of 22.0 N/m and whose mass is negligible. 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?

Two masses, m1 = 2 kg and m2 = 8 kg, are pressed onto identical springs (k = 2 × 104 N/m) so that the springs are each compressed by 10 cm. The masses are then released; they slide towards each other on a frictionless table and undergo an elastic collision. Find the speed of each mass before the collision. Find the speed of each mass after the collision. After the collision, m1 will rebound to the left and hit the spring again. How far will the spring compress before it momentarily comes to rest? m2 m,arrow_forward
