As shown in the figure below, a bullet is fired at and passes through a piece of target paper suspended by a massless string. The bullet has a mass m, a speed v before the collision with the target, and a speed (0.486)v after passing through the target. The collision is inelastic and during the collision, the amount of energy lost is equal to a fraction [(0.273)KEb BC] of the kinetic energy of the bullet before the collision. Determine the mass M of the target and the speed V of the target the instant after the collision in terms of the mass m of the bullet and speed v of the bullet before the collision. (Express your answers to at least 3 decimals.)

A bullet is fired at and passes through a piece of target paper suspended by a massless string. The bullet has a mass m, a speed v before the collision with the target, and a speed (0.526)v after passing through the target. The collision is inelastic and during the collision, the amount of kinetic energy lost by the bullet and paper is equal to [(0.433)Kb BC] , that is, 0.433 of the kinetic energy of the bullet before the collision....

A bullet with mass m(lowercase m) is fired into a block of wood with mass M(uppercase M), suspended like a pendulum, and makes a completely inelastic collision with it. After the impact of the bullet, the block swings up to a maximum height h. Given the values of h = 5.00 cm = 0.0500 m, m = 6.75 g = 0.00675 kg, and M = 2.50 kg, (a) What is the (initial) velocity v_x of the bullet in m/s? (b)...

A bullet with mass m1 = 3.00 g is fired into a wooden block of mass m2 = 1.00 kg, that hangs like a pendulum. The bullet is embedded in the block (complete inelastic collision). The block (with the bullet embedded in it) goes h = 30.0 cm high after collision. Calculate the speed of the bullet before it hit the block.
