A bullet with a mass m, = 11.5 g is fired into a block of wood at velocity v, = 245 m/s. The block is attached to a spring that has a spring constant k of 205 N/m. The block and bullet continue to move, compressing the spring by 35.0 cm before the whole system momentarily comes to a stop. Assuming that the surface on which the block is resting is frictionless, determine the mass mw of the wooden block. т, тy — 304.6 kg Bryce, a mouse lover, keeps his four pet mice in a roomy cage, where they spend much of their spare time, when they're not sleeping or eating, joyfully scampering about on the cage's floor.

Suppose you collected a data set in which you measured fall-times for different fall-heights. You plotted the data and fit the mathematical model, y = Ax2, to match the physical hypothesis, y = 1/2*g*t2. From the best-fit curve, you are told that the value of your fit-parameter, A, is 4.6 m/s2 ± 0.4 m/s2. Determine the value of g ± dg for this fit-parameter value.
The kinetic energy (T) of an object with mass m traveling at a speed v is defined as T = \frac{1}{2}mv^2T=21mv2. What is the kinetic energy (in J) of an object of mass 41 g traveling a velocity of 37 miles per hour? (1 mile = 1.609 km) Round your answer to the tenths (0.1) place.
One way astrophysicists have identifi ed “extrasolar” planets orbiting distant stars is by observing redshifts or blueshifts in the star’s spectrum due to the fact that he star and planet each revolve around their common center of mass. Consider a star the size of our sun (mass 1.99 x 1030 kg), with a planet the size of Jupiter(1.90 x 1027 kg) in a circular orbit of radius 7.79 x 1011 m and a period of 11.9 years. (a) Find the speed of the star revolving around the system’s center of mass. (b) Assume that Earth is in the planet’s orbital plane, so that at one point in its orbit the star is moving directly toward Earth, and at the opposite point it moves directly away from Earth. How much is 550-nm light redshifted and blueshifted at those two extreme points?
Plaskett's binary system consists of two stars that revolve In a circular orbit about a center of mass midway between them. This statement implies that the masses of the two stars are equal (see figure below). Assume the orbital speed of each star is |v | = 240 km/s and the orbital period of each is 12.5 days. Find the mass M of each star. (For comparison, the mass of our Sun is 1.99 times 1030 kg Your answer cannot be understood or graded. More Information solar masses
