Randall D. Knight β Impulse and Momentum: Problem 54
Two 500 g blocks of wood are 2.0 m apart on a frictionless table. A 10 g bullet is fired at 400 m/s toward the blocks. It passes all the way through the first block, then embeds itself in the second block. The speed of the first block immediately afterward is 6.0 m/s. What is the speed of the second block after the bullet stops in it?
π Solution Approach
Given: 500 g, 2.0 m, . A, 10 g, 400 m, 6.0 m
