Consider a plastic block with mass 0.750 kg The block is suspended from the lower end of a cord that is 1.76 m long. With the block initially at rest, it is struck by a bullet with mass 0.0132 kg and a horizontal velocity vo. After the collision, the bullet becomes embedded into the block, and the combined object swings on the end of the cord. When the block has risen a vertical height of 0.700 m, the tension in the cord is 4.80 N Part A Calculate the initial speed vo of the bullet?

Two spheres collide on a horizontal surface (all velocities, before and after the collision, are in the x-y plane). Throughout this problem, assume that all forces aside from those exerted by the spheres themselves are negligible (at least in comparison). Sphere A has a mass of 0.65 grams. It has an initial speed of 6.0 m/s and an initial velocity that is oriented at an angle of θ A i = 28 degrees below the x-axis. Sphere B has a mass of 0.45 grams. It has an initial speed of 6.5 m/s and an initial velocity that is oriented at an angle of θ B i = 35 degrees above the x-axis. After the collision, sphere A has a speed of 3.5 m/s and a velocity that is directed at an angle of θ A f = 16 degrees above the x-axis. What is the final speed, in units of meters per second, of sphere B?
To test the impact resistance of a new material, a steel ball is shot through bricks of the material. Two bricks, each with a mass of 1.5 kg, are resting on a frictionless surface, a short distance apart from each other. A steel ball, with a mass of 0.118 kg, is shot into the first brick with a velocity of 174 m/s, and after passing through the first brick, it embeds itself in the second brick. The first brick has a velocity of 1.83 m/s right after the ball leaves. What is the velocity of the second brick with the embedded ball?
A 23.0-g bullet strikes and becomes attached inside a 2.80-kg block of wood placed on a horizontal surface just in front of the gun. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the surface is 0.329, and the impact drives the block a distance of 12.6 m before it comes to rest, what was the muzzle speed of the bullet?
