Answer #1

Initial speed of the bullet vi=510m/s

Final speed of the bullet vf=410m/s

Distance traveled by the bullet d=7cm=0.07m

(a)

Assuming the acceleration of the bullet is constant, the motion of the bullet as it passes through the board is governed by the kinematics equations for uniformly accelerating motion. To find the acceleration in terms of given quantities we use

(b)

To find time in terms on know quantities we use

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?
