By momentum conservation,
m*u1 + M*u2 = m*v1 + M*v2
here,
m = mass of bullet = 35 gm = 0.035 Kg
M = mass of block = 2.5 Kg
u1 = initial velocity of bullet = 450 m/sec.
u2 = initial velocity of block = 0
v1 = final velocity of bullet = 250 m/sec.
v2 = final velocity of block = ??
So,
0.035*450 + 2.5*0 = 0.035*250 + 2.5*v2
v2 = (0.035*450 + 2.5*0 - 0.035*250)/(2.5)
v2 = 2.8 m/sec.

A 5.00-g bullet moving with an initial speed of 450 m/s passes through a 1.00-kg block, as shown in the figure. The block is initially at rest on a frictionless, horizontal surface and is connected to a spring that has a spring-force constant of 900 N/m. The block moves a distance d = 3.34 cm to the right after the collision. Note that the block only starts moving after the bullet has completely passed through the block. IWW d Round...

11. A bullet moving at 200 m/s strikes a wooden block which has several hundred times the bullet's mass. The block is hanging from a string. Only 1% of the kinetic energy of the bullet shows up as motion of the block after the bullet has become embedd ed in the block. What happened to the rest of the energy? Describe how the block moves and some of the changes to the block.
