A) A 12.0-g bullet is fired horizontally into a 113-g wooden block that is initially at rest on a frictionless horizontal surface and connected to a spring having spring constant 149 N/m. The bullet becomes embedded in the block. If the bullet-block system compresses the spring by a maximum of 76.0 cm, what was the speed of the bullet at impact with the block?

B)A 0.033-kg bullet is fired vertically at 238 m/s into a 0.15-kg baseball that is initially at rest. How high does the combined bullet and baseball rise after the collision, assuming the bullet embeds itself in the ball?

A bullet is shot horizontally and becomes embedded in a large block, which is initially at rest on a horizontal surface. How far will the block slide before stopping? The mass of the bullet is 12.6 g, the mass of the block is 9.8 kg, the bullet's impact speed is 710 m/s, and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the surface is 0.220. (Assume that the block does not spin after being hit with the bullet.)

A 5.40 g bullet is fired horizontally at two blocks resting on a smooth tabletop, as shown in the top figure. The bullet passes through the first block, with mass 1.20 kg, and embeds itself in the second, with mass 1.80 kg. Speeds of 0.340 m/s and 1.07 m/s, respectively, are thereby imparted to the blocks, as shown in the bottom figure. Neglecting the mass removed from the first block by the bullet, find the speed of the bullet immediately...
