A bullet of mass 4.5 g is fired horizontally into a 2.4 kg wooden block at rest on a horizontal surface. The bullet is embedded in the block. The speed of the block immediately after the bullet stops relative to it is 2.7 m/s. At what speed is the bullet fired?
In Figure (1), a 3.50 g bullet is fired horizontally at two blocks at rest on...
In Figure (1), a 3.50 g bullet is fired horizontally at two blocks at rest on a frictionless table. The bullet passes through block 1 (mass 1.42 kg) and embeds itself in block 2 (mass 1.88 kg). The blocks end up with speeds v1 = 0.610 m/s and v2 = 1.31 m/s (see Figure (2)). Neglecting the material removed from block 1 by the bullet, find the speed of the bullet as it (a) leaves and (b) enters block 1.

A bullet of mass 6.00 g is fired horizontally into a wooden block of mass 1.29 kg resting on a horizontal surface. The coefficient of kinetic friction between block and surface is 0.210. The bullet remains embedded in the block, which is observed to slide a distance 0.290 m along the surface before stopping. What was the initial speed of the bullet?

A 4.00-g bullet is moving horizontally with a velocity of 355 m/s, where the sign indicates that it is moving to the right (see part a of the drawing). The bullet is approaching two blocks resting on a horizontal frictionless surface. Air resistance is negligible. The bullet passes completely through the first block (an inelastic collision) and embeds itself in the second one, as indicated in part b. Note that both blocks are moving after the collision with the bullet....

A bullet is fired horizontally at two blocks at rest on a friction table. The bullet passes through block 1 ( mass = 1.50 kg) and embeds itself in block 2 (mass = 1.65 kg). The block end up with speed ?1 = 0.530 ?/? and ?2 = 1.20 ?/?. Neglecting the material removed from block 1 by the bullet, find the speed of the bullet as it, a.) enters block 1 (5 pts) b.) as it leaves block 1...

A 5.50 g bullet is fired horizontally into a 1.40 kg wooden block resting on a horizontal surface. The coefficient of kinetic friction between block and surface is 0.200. The bullet remains embedded in the block, which is observed to slide 0.230 m along the surface before stopping. Find the initial speed of the bullet.

A 6.03-g bullet is fired horizontally at a speed of 662 m/s directly toward a 3.89-kg wooden block. The wooden block is sliding on a frictionless surface and is moving toward the bullet at a speed of 2.68 m/s. The bullet passes through the block and the block's speed is reduced to 1.98 m/s. With what speed does the bullet emerge from the other side of the block?
