Randall D. Knight β Impulse and Momentum: Problem 52
In a ballistics test, a 25 g bullet traveling horizontally at 1200 m/s goes through a 30-cm-thick 350 kg stationary target and emerges with a speed of 900 m/s. The target is free to slide on a smooth horizontal surface. What is the targetβs speed just after the bullet emerges?
