Before:
mi vi
After:
m2
Ax
(mm)
I coul
m₁+m2
a) Measurements on a spring reveal that a force of 0.75 N will compress the spring by 0.25
cm. Find the spring constant of this spring, k.
b) This spring is now mounted horizontally with a block of wood attached to one end. A
bullet with mass m₁=0.008 kg and velocity v, is fired horizontally into the block of wood.
The wood block has mass m₂=0.992 kg and is initially at rest. The bullet embeds itself in
the wood and the spring is compressed by 2 cm before it comes to rest momentarily.
c) Find the velocity of the block/bullet combination directly after the collision needed to
compress this spring by Ax=2 cm.
d) Find the initial velocity of the bullet before the collision, V₁. Hint: Is the collision elastic or
inelastic?
