A bullet with mass m1 is fired horizontally at a velocity v1

If the bullet strikes a block of mass m2 at horizontal distance s1,

(a) how far h has it dropped?

Assuming the bullet’s horizontal speed remains constant,

(b) what will be its resultant speed vR as it hits the block?

(c) At what angle Θ below the horizontal does it strike the block?

The bullet remains in the block, which slides down a long ramp, which

sits at the same angle to the horizontal as the impact of the bullet.

(d) At what initial speed v2 will the block slide?

(e) The block slides to a stop on the ramp. If the ramp-block system has a coefficient of friction of µ, what will be the displacement s2 of the block?

(f) How much heat Q1 is generated by the impact of the bullet on the block?

(g) How much heat Q2 is generated by the friction of the block on the ramp?

this is all the instructor gave us. No diagrams, pictures, etc. Fun isn't it? ;)

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 block of mass m1 = 1.20 kg moving at v1 = 1.20 m/s undergoes a completely inelastic collision with a stationary block of mass m2 = 0.500 kg . The blocks then move, stuck together, at speed v2. After a short time, the two-block system collides inelastically with a third block, of mass m3 = 2.60 kg , which is initially at rest. The three blocks then move, stuck together, with speed v3. Assume that the blocks slide without...
