The figure below shows a bullet of mass 15 g traveling horizontally towards the east with speed 250 m/s, which strikes a block of mass 1.5 kg that is initially at rest on a frictionless table. After striking the block, the bullet is embedded in the block and the block and the bullet move together as one unit. What is the energy loss in the system due to this collision
A 0.0250-kg bullet is accelerated from rest to a speed of 550 m/s in a 3.00-kg rifle. The pain of the rifle’s kick is much worse if you hold the gun loosely a few centimeters from your shoulder rather than holding it tightly against your shoulder. (a) Calculate the recoil velocity of the rifle if it is held loosely away from the shoulder. (b) How much kinetic energy does the rifle gain? (c) What is the recoil velocity if the rifle is held tightly against the shoulder, making the effective mass 28.0 kg? (d) How much kinetic energy is transferred to the rifle-shoulder combination? The pain is related to the amount of kinetic energy, which is significantly less in this latter situation. (e) Calculate the momentum of a 110-kg football player running at 8.00 m/s. Compare the player’s momentum with the momentum of a hardthrown 0.410-kg football that has a speed of 25.0 m/s. Discuss its relationship to this problem.
Is the following statement true? If not, why? Within the system, both the momentum and kinetic energy are conserved during each of the collisions ( spring-loaded elastic, hoop spring, and putty collisions).

Prof. P's dwarf lime tree is doing well this year and provides those lime slices for his refreshing online lecture glass of water. One of those limes with a mass of 45.2 grams falls vertically from the tree at a height of 1.3 meters and elastically bounces straight up off the greenhouse floor. If that poor lime was in contact with the floor for 0.11 seconds, what was the force on the lime from the floor in Newtons? (assume up is positive) Prof. P. has experimentally determined (because he does that sort of stuff) that a 5N force will bruise a lime and make it nasty for his drink - is this lime OK?
