A bullet is firef horizontally into an initially stationary block of wood suspended by a string and remains embedded in the block. The bullets mass is m=0.0085kg while that of the block is M=0.99kg. After the collision the block/bullet system swings and reaches a maximum height of h=1.15m above inital height. Neglect air resostance. A.)Enter an expression for the speed of the block/bullet system immediately after the collision in terms of defined quantities and g. b.)enter an expression for the inital speed of the bullet in terms of defined quantities and g. c.) enter an expression for the kinetic energy of the block/bullet system immediately after the collision in terms of defined quantities and g.

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...

A 12.7 g bullet is fired into a block of wood at 245 m/s. The block is attached to a spring constant of 205 N/m. The block and bullet continue to move, compressing the spring by 35.0 cm before the whole system momentarily comes to a stop. Assuming that the surface on which the block is resting is frictionless, determine the mass of the wooden block.
