A bullet is shot horizontally and becomes embedded in a large block, which is initially at rest on a horizontal surface. How far will the block slide before stopping? The mass of the bullet is 12.6 g, the mass of the block is 9.8 kg, the bullet's impact speed is 710 m/s, and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the surface is 0.220. (Assume that the block does not spin after being hit with the bullet.)

A large crate is suspended by a light string. A bullet is fired horizontally into the crate and becomes firmly lodged inside it. After being struck by the bullet, the crate swings upward to a maximm height and then swings back up. Just before the collision (time t1), the crate is at rest and the bullet moves horizontally with speed v0. Immediately after the bullet becomes lodged inside the crate (time t2) the bullet and crate move together with speed...
