A bullet is fired horizontally into an initially stationary block of wood suspended by a string and remains embedded in the block. The bullet’s mass is m = 0.0075 kg, while that of the block is M = 0.96 kg. After the collision the block/bullet system swings and reaches a maximum height of h = 1.1 m above its initial height. Neglect air resistance.
a)Enter an expression for the speed of the block/bullet system immediately after the collision in terms of defined quantities and g.
b)Find the speed of the block/bullet system, in meters per second, immediately after the collision.
c)Enter an expression for the initial speed of the bullet in terms of defined quantities and g.
