A ball of mass 0.20 kg is fired with velocity 120 m/s into the barrel of a spring gun of mass 2.0 kg initially at rest on a frictionless surface. The ball sticks in the barrel at the point of maximum compression of the spring. No energy is lost to friction. What fraction of the ball's initial kinetic energy is stored in the spring?
Homework Answers
At point of max compression the ball and gun have the
same velocity (v)
Applying cons of momentum at max compression ..
0.2kg x 120m/s = (0.2+2.0)kg x v .. .. v = 24 / 2.2 = 10.90
m/s
Assuming perfect elastic collision with the spring (no energy loss)
..
Initial ball KE = final ball+gun KE + Energy in spring (Es)
Es = (½ x 0.2 x 120²) - (½ x 2.2 x 10.90²) =1309.30 J
Fraction of Ei in spring = Es / Ei = 1309.30 / (½ x 0.2 x 120²) ..
.. ►0.90 J

A block of mass 0.528 kg slides with uniform velocity of 3.60 m/s on a horizontal frictionless surface. At some point, it strikes a horizontal spring in equilibrium. If the spring constant is k = 26.1 N/m, by how much will the spring be compressed by the time the block comes to rest? b. What is the amount of compression if the surface is rough under the spring, with coefficient of kinetic friction µk = 0.411?

A block having a mass of 0.800 kg is given an initial velocity vA= 1.25 m/s to the right. It collides head-on with a horizontal spring of negligible mass and force constant k = 50 N/m, resting on the table. (a)Assuming the surface to be frictionless, calculate the maximum compression of the spring after the collision. Assume that the block gets stuck to the spring. (b)Suppose a constant force of kinetic friction acts between the block and the surface, with...

A heavy bullet of mass m = 0.1200 kg is fired with an initial
velocity v = 400. m/s into a large block of lightweight wood of
mass M = 0.500 kg, which is initially at rest on a frictionless
surface. This initial situation is depicted on the left side of the
picture below. The bullet gets stuck inside of the wood block and
both move together thereafter as shown in the picture.

Blocks A (mass 3.50 kg ) and B (mass 7.00 kg ) move on a frictionless, horizontal surface. Initially, block B is at rest and block A is moving toward it at 5.00 m/s . The blocks are equipped with ideal spring bumpers. The collision is head-on, so all motion before and after the collision is along a straight line. Let +x be the direction of the initial motion of block A. Part A Find the maximum energy stored in...

A ball with a mass of 0.615 kg is initially at rest. It is struck by a second ball having a mass of 0.410 kg , initially moving with a velocity of 0.235 m/s toward the right along the x axis. After the collision, the 0.410 kg ball has a velocity of 0.200 m/s at an angle of 36.8 ∘ above the x axis in the first quadrant. Both balls move on a frictionless, horizontal surface. What is the magnitude...
