A 1.50 kg block is attached to a horizontal spring with spring constant 3400 N/m . The block is at rest on a frictionless surface. A 10 g bullet is fired into the block, in the face opposite the spring, and sticks. What was the bullet's speed if the subsequent oscillations have an amplitude of 11.8 cm ?
Added by Laura L.
Step 1
The mass of the block is 1.50 kg and the mass of the bullet is 10 g (which is 0.010 kg). Total mass \( m_{total} = m_{block} + m_{bullet} = 1.50 \, \text{kg} + 0.010 \, \text{kg} = 1.51 \, \text{kg} \). Show more…

A 1.38 kg block is attached to a horizontal spring with spring constant 2900 N/m . The block is at rest on a frictionless surface. A 10.2 g bullet is fired into the block, in the face opposite the spring, and sticks. What was the bullet's speed if the subsequent oscillations have an amplitude of 7.30 cm?

A 1.28 kg block is attached to a horizontal spring with a spring constant of 2750 N/m. The block is at rest on a frictionless surface. A 10.6 g bullet is fired into the block, on the face opposite the spring, and sticks. What was the bullet's speed if the subsequent oscillations have an amplitude of 11.9 cm?

A 1.40 kg block is attached to a horizontal spring with a spring constant of 3800 N/m. The block is at rest on a frictionless surface. A 10 g bullet is fired into the block, on the face opposite the spring, and sticks. What was the bullet's speed if the subsequent oscillations have an amplitude of 11.2 cm? Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.
