A 22-g bullet traveling 290 m/s penetrates a 1.7 kg block of wood and emerges going 150 m/s Part A If the block is stationary on a frictionless surface when hit, how fast does it move after the bullet emerges? Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.

Step 1
The momentum of an object is given by the equation: momentum = mass x velocity. The mass of the bullet is not given, but we can assume it is negligible compared to the mass of the block. Therefore, we can ignore the mass of the bullet and only consider its Show more…
