A 10 g bullet is fired from a gun into a block. Attached to the block is a force meter which measures force as a function of time, and is able to read the force every 1ms (at 1000Hz). The data below were recorded for the force during the collision: 0 25 50 75 100 125 150 175 200 185 170 155 140 125 110 95 80 65 50 35 20 5 0 Use the data above to determine: the impulse on the bullet, how fast the bullet was traveling as it entered the block, the average force on the bullet, and the work done on the bullet.

Thanks a lot

    A 25 gram bullet is fired from a gun with a speed of 200 m/s. If the gun has a mass of 0.9 kg, what is the recoil speed of the gun? 1b 15 gram bullet traveling at 250m/s strikes a block of wood of mass 2.5 kg. With what velocity will the block and bullet move after the collision?

  • A 10.0-g bullet is fired into, and embeds itself in, a 1.95-kg block attached to a...

    A 10.0-g bullet is fired into, and embeds itself in, a 1.95-kg block attached to a spring with a force constant of 20.0 N/m and whose mass is negligible. How far is the spring compressed if the bullet has a speed of 300 m/s just before it strikes the block and the block slides on a frictionless surface? Note: You must use conservation of momentum in this problem because of the inelastic collision between the bullet and block.

    A 10.0-g bullet is fired into, and embeds itself in, a 1.80-kg block attached to a spring with a force constant of 22.3 N/m and whose mass is negligible. How far is the spring compressed if the bullet has a speed of 300 m/s just before it strikes the block and the block slides on a frictionless surface? Note: You must use conservation of momentum in this problem because of the inelastic collision between the bullet and block.

    A 7.00 g bullet, when fired from a gun into a 0.80 kg block of wood held in a vise, penetrates the block to a depth of 7.00 cm. This block of wood is next placed on a frictionless horizontal surface, and a second 7.00 g bullet is fired from the gun into the block. To what depth will the bullet penetrate the block in this case? (............) cm

    A bullet of mass 8 g is fired into a 1.2 kg ballistic pendulum (a block of wood acting as the pendulum bob of a thin metal arm attached to a low friction pivot point) that is initially at rest. The bullet exits the block of wood with a speed of 180 m/s and the wooden block swings from its lowest point to a maximum height of 9.2 cm above that location. Determine the velocity of the bullet before it...
