Problem 4: Two blocks sit on a frictionless surface. The left block has a mass of 4 kg and the right has a mass of 8 kg. They are glued together by the dreaded, unstable, and explosive glue, BamglueTM. The glue explodes! Bam-gluey! Its chemical energy decreases by 48 J. What is the magnitude of the velocity of the left block immediately after the explosion (remember: magnitudes are never negative; if you get an answer with a negative answer, drop the sign)? Numeric: A numeric value is expected and not an expression. V =

A car with mass 996 kg moving at 28 m/s hits a giant bag of marshmallows. The bag slows the car down, but it is unable to completely stop it because it ruptures at Dt = 1.8 s after the car hits, scattering marshmallows all over the countryside. Suppose the bag exerts a force on the car that depends on time (t) given by F = -5685 N when t is in seconds from the moment the car hits the bag until the moment the bag ruptures. What is the speed of the car after the bag ruptures?
I am driving down the street at 23.4 mi/h and suddenly I see a squirrel. I slam on the brakes in 0.89 seconds to avoid hitting the squirrel. Luckily, he got away.

Emma and Katie are racing along in their new wagon. Upon reaching the bottom of the hill traveling at 13.2 m/s, Katie notices her teddy bear 12.0 m in front of them, panics and locks the brakes sending the wagon into a skid. If the wagon and its contents have a total mass of 1.50 x101 kg, and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the road and the rubber wagon tires is (0.75), by how much does the wagon miss the bear?
A girl of mass m1=60.0 kilograms springs from a trampoline with an initial upward velocity of vi=8.00 meters per second. At height h=2.00 meters above the trampoline, the girl grabs a box of mass m2=15.0 kilograms.

What is the speed vafter of the girl immediately after she grabs the box? What is the maximum height hmax that the girl (with box) reaches? Measure hmax with respect to the top of the trampoline?
You have been asked to design a "ballistic spring system" to measure the speed of bullets. A spring whose spring constant is k is suspended from the ceiling. A block of mass M hangs from the spring. A bullet of mass m is fired vertically upward into the bottom of the block and stops in the block. The spring's maximum compression d is measured. Find an expression for the bulletť's speed vg in terms of m, M, k, and d. What was the speed of a 10 g bullet if the block's mass is 2.0 kg and if the spring, with k = 50 N/m, was compressed by 45 cm?
