A 0.004 kg bullet is fired into a 0.200 kg wooden block at rest on a horizontal surface. After impact, the embedded bullet block slides 8.00 m before coming to rest. If the coefficient of friction is 0.400, what is the speed of the bullet before impact?
 a) 96 m /s
 b) 112 m/s 
c) 286 m/s 
d) 404 m/s 
e) 812 m/s

A 0.0147-kg bullet is fired straight up at a falling wooden block that has a mass of 2.94 kg. The bullet has a speed of 760 m/s when it strikes the block. The block originally was dropped from rest from the top of a building and had been falling for a time t when the collision with the bullet occurs. As a result of the collision, the block (with the bullet in it) reverses direction, rises, and comes to a...

A bullet of mass m = 29 g is fired into a wooden block of mass M = 4.9 kg as shown in the figure below. The block is attached to a string of length 1.5 m. The bullet is embedded in the block, causing the block to then swing as shown in the figure. If the block reaches a maximum height of h = 0.27 m, what was the initial speed of the bullet?

A bullet of mass m1 is fired horizontally into a wooden block of mass m2 resting on a horizontal surface. The coefficient of kinetic friction between block and surface is μk. The bullet remains embedded in the block, which is observed to slide a distance s along the surface before stopping. What was the initial speed of the bullet? Take the free-fall acceleration to be g.

A 3.9 kg block of wood sits on a frictionless table. A 3.0 g bullet, fired horizontally at a speed of 430 m/s , goes completely through the block, emerging at a speed of 200 m/s . Part A: Consider a system of both objects. Is momentum conserved in this situation? Explain. Part B: For the same system of both objects, is kinetic energy conserved? Explain. Part C: What is the speed of the block immediately after the bullet exits?...

A 10 g bullet is fired with 450 m/s into a 10 kg block that sits at rest on a wooden table 20 cm from the edge of the table. The bullet gets embedded in the block (perfectly inelastic collision). The block, with the embedded bullet, then slides to the edge of the table and drops down with some initial velocity while leaving the edge of the table. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the surface of...
