Answer all questions in the spaces provided. Show all calculation involved. Unless otherwise
specified, take gravitational acceleration, g = 9.81 m/s2.

1. A 3-kg box that is sliding on a frictionless


surface with a speed of 12 m/s approaches
a horizontal spring as shown in Figure 1.
The spring has a spring constant of
2000 N/m.

perpendicular to a wall by a 1.2-m string going
from the wall to the far end of the stick as shown
in Figure 2.
Determine the tension of the string.

4 A 1.0-g bullet moving with a speed of 1000 m/s strikes a 10-kg wooden block resting
on a horizontal frictionless surface. The block and the embedded bullet then slide
across the surface.
(a) What is the speed of the "bullet + block" system immediately after the bullet is
embedded in the block?

m1v1 + m2v2 = (m1+m2) vF

vF =
(0.001)(1000) =0.1 m/s
(0.001 + 10)

(b) Determine the magnitude of impulse exerted on the bullet.

Impulse of bullet = mbullet (vF - vi )


= 0.001 (0.1 – 1000)
= -1.00 Ns
Magnitude of impulse = 1.00 Ns
