A0.0382-kg bullet is fired horizontally into a 3.78-kg wooden block attached to one end of a massless, horizontal spring (k = 833 n/m). the other end of the spring is fixed in place, and the spring is unstrained initially. the block rests on a horizontal, frictionless surface. the bullet strikes the block perpendicularly and quickly comes to a halt within it. as a result of this completely inelastic collision, the spring is compressed along its axis and causes the block/bullet to oscillate with an amplitude of 0.190 m. what is the speed of the bullet?

Experiment scenario 2: a biology student wants to conduct a study of how the amount of food affects the weight gain for mice. i have set up four cages with a mouse in each cage. fill in the boxes that would allow the biology student to complete the study correctly

It may seem strange that the selected velocity does not depend on either the mass or the charge of the particle. (for example, would the velocity of a neutral particle be selected by passage through this device? ) the explanation of this is that the mass and the charge control the resolution of the device--particles with the wrong velocity will be accelerated away from the straight line and will not pass through the exit slit. if the acceleration depends strongly on the velocity, then particles with just slightly wrong velocities will feel a substantial transverse acceleration and will not exit the selector. because the acc

Learning goal: to understand newton's 1st law. newton's principia states this first law of motion: an object subject to no net force maintains its state of motion, either at rest or at constant speed in a right line. this law may be restated as follows: if the sum of all forces acting on an object is zero, then the acceleration of that object is zero. mathematically this is just a special case of the 2nd law of motion, f⃗ =ma⃗ , when f⃗ =0. when studying newtonian mechanics, it is best to remember the 1st law in two ways: if the net force (i.e., sum of all forces) acting on an object is zero, the object will keep moving with constant velocity (which may be zero). if an object is moving with constant velocity, that is, with zero acceleration, then the net force acting on that object must be zero. complete the following sentences to see if you can apply these ideas. part a if a car is moving to the left with constant velocity, one can conclude that
