What type of collision is this?
An 8.00 g bullet is fired into a 250 g block that is initially at rest at the edge of a table of height 1.00 m. The bullet remains in the block, and after the impact the block lands 2.00 m from the bottom of the table. Determine the initial speed of the bullet.
Perfectly Inelastic Collision
We must first figure out the combined Vf, how can we do that?

m1= .008 kg
m2 = 0.250kg
V2i = 0
V1f = V2f
h=Δy =1.00m
Δx = 2.00m

Can we figure out time, then Vf?
Now what?
Vix = Vf, because velocity is
Constant in the x-axis,
no accel. In the X. Projectile

A block of mass m1 = 1.60 kg, initially moving to the right with a velocity of 4.00 m/s on a frictionless horizontal track, collides with a massless spring attached to a second block of mass m2 = 2.10 kg moving to the left with a velocity of m/s. The spring has a spring constant of 6.00 X 102 N/m. Determine the velocity of block 2 at the instant when block 1 is moving to the right with a velocity of m/s. Find the compression of the spring.
Elastic Collision
Now we have solved for a).
What is the next step to solving for the compression of the spring xf?
Conservation of Momentum
Since there is no friction, hence no loss of energy how could we simplify this?

now solve for Xf
Distribute the 2 canceling all ½
