Solution: A rifle bullet with mass 8.00 g strikes and embeds
Chapter 8, Problem 8.79(choose chapter or problem)
A rifle bullet with mass 8.00 g strikes and embeds itself in a block with mass 0.992 kg that rests on a frictionless, horizontal surface and is attached to a coil spring (Fig. P8.79). The impact compresses the spring 15.0 cm. Calibration of the spring shows that a force of 0.750 N is required to compress the spring 0.250 cm. (a) Find the magnitude of the block’s velocity just after impact. (b) What was the initial speed of the bullet?
