Question

part 1 A bullet of mass 2 g moving with an initial
speed 500 m/s is fired into and passes through
a block of mass 6 kg, as shown in the figure.
The block, initially at rest on a frictionless,
horizontal surface, is connected to a spring of
force constant 599 N/m. If the block moves a distance 0.68 cm to the
right after the bullet passed through it, find
the speed v at which the bullet emerges from
the block.
Answer in units of m/s.

part 2 Find the magnitude of the energy lost in the
collision.
Answer in units of J.

part 1 A 580 kg mass is sliding on a horizontal frictionless surface with a speed of 9.5 m/s when
it collides with a 82 kg mass initially at rest,
as shown. The masses stick together and slide
up a frictionless track at 60◦
from horizontalWhat is the speed of the two blocks immediately after the collision? The acceleration
due to gravity is 9.8 m/s
2
.
Answer in units of m/s.

part 2 After the collision, the masses slide up the
incline. To what maximum height h above the horizontal surface will the masses slide?
Answer in units of m

thank you for the help whoever does this have a blessed day

Please limit your request to one unrelated question per post per Yahoo Answers user guide lines.

1a) The kinetic energy of the block converts to spring potential
ASSUME the block does not lose mass as the bullet rips through it.

½mv² = ½kx²
v = √(kx²/m) = √(599(0.0068)²/ 6 = 0.0679 m/s

Conservation of momentum during the collision.

0.002(500) + 6(0) = 0.002v + 6(0.0679)
v = 296.17... ≈ 300 m/s   ANSWER

1b) ΔKE = ½(0.002)500² - ½(0.002)296² - ½(6)0.0679² 
ΔKE = 162.269... ≈ 160 J  ANSWER

2a)  Conservation of momentum

580(9.5) + 82(0) = (580 + 82)v
v = 8.32326... ≈ 8.3 m/s  ANSWER

2b) Conservation of energy

PE = KE
mgh = ½mv²
     h = v²/2g
     h = 8.32326²/2(9.8) = 3.534... ≈ 3.5 m  ANSWER
