Problem 5-1: The force acting on the 50-lb crate has a magnitude of F = (2.4t
2
+ 15t) lb, where t
is in seconds. If the crate starts from rest, determine its speed when t = 2 s, as well as the
distance traveled in this time period. Neglect friction.

Problem 5-2: A 20-g bullet is fired horizontally into the
300-g block, which rests on the smooth surface. After
the bullet becomes embedded in the block, the block
moves to the right 0.3 m before momentarily coming to
rest. Determine the speed (v

Problem 5-3: Two cars each have the same mass m. Car A is traveling with a speed of 12 ft/s
when it crashes head-on with B, which is at rest. If, after the collision, the driver of B locks his
brakes, determine the distance d car B will slide before coming to a complete stop. Take !

Problem 5-4: The 2-lb block B is being
subjected to the force of an elastic cord. The
cord has an unstretched length of l

= 1.5 ft and
a stiffness of k = 12 lb/ft. The block is released
from rest, and glides along the smooth surface
towards C. Determine: a) the blocks speed
when it reaches point C, b) whether or not the
elastic cord becomes unstretched, and c) the
angular momentum of the block about point A at
any instant after it passes point C.
