Serway & Jewett β Linear Momentum and Collisions: Problem 40
A wooden block of mass \( M \) rests on a table over a large hole as in Figure P9.39. A bullet of mass \( m \) with an initial velocity \( v_i \) is fired upward into the bottom of the block and remains in the block after the collision. The block and bullet rise to a maximum height of \( h \). (a) Describe how you would find the initial velocity of the bullet using ideas you have learned in this chapter. (b) Find an expression for the initial velocity of the bullet.
