A16.0g bullet is shot into a wood block at rest with a mass of 2450 g on a frictionless surface. the block moves 1.2m/s after the bullet strikes and becomes lodged in the block. find the speed of the bullet before striking the block.

Acave rescue team lifts an injured spelunker directly upward and out of a sinkhole by means of a motor-driven cable. the lift is performed in three stages, each requiring a vertical distance of 10.0 m: (a) the initially stationary spelunker is accelerated to a speed of 4.90 m/s; (b) he is then lifted at the constant speed of 4.90 m/s; (c) finally he is decelerated to zero speed. how much work is done on the 68.0 kg rescue by the force lifting him during each stage?

Awheel of mass 48 kg is lifted to a height of 0.8 m. how much gravitational potential energy is added to the wheel? acceleration due to gravity is g = 9.8 m/s2. a. 30.4 j b. 3.1 j c. 297.9 j d. 11,321 j

Awater balloon launcher uses an elastic band with a spring constant of 115 n/m to use thee launcher you stretch thee band back with a balloon n it the water balloons have a mass of 1.3 kg a) if you stretch the band by 0.8 m, what elastic force will the band exert? b) with the band stretched 0.8 m, how much elastic potential energy is stored in the spring? c) if you release the band, it pushes forward. what is the kinetic energy of the balloon when it reaches the natural length of the band? d) what is the speed of the balloon when it reaches the natural length of the band?
