    Simple harmonic motion: mass on a spring is hit by a bullet

    I think i see what you mean. I will try to include the GPE as well and see what i end up with. Thanks!

    Simple harmonic motion: mass on a spring is hit by a bullet

    I used the position at block+spring as the equilibrium point, and solved it using two methods to get an answer. Even though i didnt consider the block+spring potential energy, since that was my equilibrium point, would my answer be correct? Sorry about the pictures instead of latex. I will...

    Simple harmonic motion: mass on a spring is hit by a bullet

    I'm under the assumption that at equlibium I am confused on whether i should consider there is already a spring potential on the block, before hit by the bullet, or if it has no spring potential at that point

    Simple harmonic motion: mass on a spring is hit by a bullet

    Homework Statement A 4.0kg block is suspended from a spring with force constant of 500N/m. A 50g bullet is fired into the block from directly below with a speed of 150m/s and is imbedded in the block. Find the amplitude of the resulting simple harmonic motion. Homework Equations F=-kx...

    Calculating work heat, and efficiency given a TS diagram

    Homework Statement Is it possible to calculate the work done heat transfer, and efficiency of an object in a thermodynamic system, given the Temperature vs Entropy graph? Example: Homework Equations ∆U=Q-W ∆S=dQ/T e=1-(Qc/Qh) e=W/QhThe Attempt at a Solution Since this is a T vs S diagram,i...
