A 4.00g 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...

A 0.0200 kg bullet moving horizontally at 400 m/s embeds itself into an initially stationary 0.500 kg block. (a) What is their velocity just after the collision? m/s (b) The bullet-embedded block slides 8.0 m on a horizontal surface with a 0.30 kinetic coefficient of friction. Now what is its velocity? m/s (c) The bullet-embedded block now strikes and sticks to a stationary 2.00 kg block. How far does this combination travel before stopping? m

A bullet of mass 10.0 gram moving at a velocity of 336 m/s toward the right strikes an orange of mass 90.0 gram. The bullet passes through the orange and in the process pulls out 10.0 grams of orange innards. Assuming that this collision is elastic (i.e., that no kinetic energy is lost), what is the velocity of the rest of the remaining 80 grams of orange? Take rightward motion to be positive and leftward motion to be negative. Hint:...

A bullet of mass 4.00 g travelling at 250 m/s embeds into a wooden block of mass 2.32 kg resting on a horizontal surface. The coefficient of kinetic friction between block and surface is 0.220. The bullet remains embedded in the block slides along the surface before stopping. What distance does the block slide before coming to rest?

A bullet of mass ma= 0.01 kg moving with an initial speed of va= 200 m/s embeds itself in a wooden block with mass mb= 0.99 kg moving in the same direction with an initial speed vb= 2.6 m/s. What is the speed of the bullet-embedded block after the collision? What is the total kinetic energy of the bullet and block system before and after the collision?
