Question

In the figure here, a 12.9 g bullet moving directly upward at 1120 m/s strikes and passes through the center of mass of a 3.4 kg block initially at rest. The bullet emerges from the block moving directly upward at 460 m/s. To what maximum height does the block then rise above its initial position?

Name: in the figure here a 129 g bullet moving directly upward at 1120 ms strikes and passes through the center of mass of a 34 kg block initially at rest the bullet emerges from the block moving 69081

Step 1

$m_b = 12.9 g = 0.0129 kg$ $m_k = 3.4 kg$ Let $v_{b,i}$ be the initial velocity of the bullet and $v_{b,f}$ be the final velocity of the bullet. $v_{b,i} = 1120 m/s$ $v_{b,f} = 460 m/s$ Let $v_{k,i}$ be the initial velocity of the block and $v_{k,f}$ be the final Show more…
