Simple Harmonic Motion

Harmonic Motion


<div class="wp-block-create-block-problemblock">A block of mass M, 5.4 kg, at rest on a horizontal frictionless table is attached to a rigid support by a spring constant k, 6000 N/m.  A bullet of mass m, 9.5 g, and velocity of magnitude 630 m/s strikes and is embedded in the block.  Assuming the compression of the spring is negligible until the bullet is embedded, determine:<br /><img src="/old/images/harmonicmotionbullet.gif"  alt="simple harmonic motion problem ><br />A. the speed of the block immediately after the collision<br">B. the amplitude of the resulting simple harmonic motion</div>
