Using law of conservation of momentum,
m1u1 + m2u2 = m1v1 + m2v2
30 x 500 = 500 x 6 + 30 v2
V2 = 400 m/s
Again using law of conservation of momentum,
500 v1 + 0 = 30 x 400 + 0
Velocity, v1 = 24 m/s

21. Two 500 g blocks of wood are 2.0 m apart on a frictionless table. A 10 g bullet is fired at 400 m/s blocks. It passes all the way through the first block, then embeds itself in the second block. The speed of the first block immediately afterward is 6.0 m/s. What is the speed of the second block after the bullet stops in it?
Two 460 g blocks of wood are 2.0 m apart on a frictionless table. A 11 g bullet is fired at 450 m/s toward the blocks. It passes all the way through the first block, then embeds itself in the second block. The speed of the first block immediately afterward is 5.0 m/s . A) What is the speed of the second block after the bullet stops? Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.
A bullet with a mass of 1.60 g is fired horizontally at two blocks resting on a smooth and frictionless table top as shown in the Figure. The bullet passes trhough the first 1.60 kg block, and embeds itself in a second 1.80 kg block. Speeds v1 = 1.60 m/s and v2 = 4.60 m/s, are thereby imparted on the blocks. The mass removed from the first block by the bullet can be neglected. Find the speed of the bullet...
In Figure (1), a 3.50 g bullet is fired horizontally at two blocks at rest on a frictionless table. The bullet passes through block 1 (mass 1.20 kg) and embeds itself in block 2 (mass 1.85 kg). The blocks end up with speeds v1 = 0.510 m/s and v2 = 1.38 m/s (see Figure (2)). Neglecting the material removed from block 1 by the bullet, find the speed of the bullet as it (a) leaves and (b) enters block 1....
In Figure (1), a 3.50 g bullet is fired horizontally at two blocks at rest on a frictionless table. The bullet passes through block 1 (mass 1.04 kg) and embeds itself in block 2 (mass 1.69 kg). The blocks end up with speeds v1 = 0.550 m/s and v2 = 1.40 m/s (see Figure (2)). Neglecting the material removed from block 1 by the bullet, find the speed of the bullet as it (a) leaves and (b) enters block 1....
In Figure (1), a 3.50 g bullet is fired horizontally at two blocks at rest on a frictionless table. The bullet passes through block 1 (mass 1.36 kg) and embeds itself in block 2 (mass 1.87 kg). The blocks end up with speeds v1 = 0.500 m/s and v2 = 1.35 m/s (see Figure (2)). Neglecting the material removed from block 1 by the bullet, find the speed of the bullet as it (a) leaves and (b) enters block 1.
In Figure (1), a 3.50 g bullet is fired horizontally at two blocks at rest on a frictionless table. The bullet passes through block 1 (mass 1.13 kg) and embeds itself in block 2 (mass 1.65 kg). The blocks end up with speeds V1 = 0.550 m/s and v2 = 1.45 m/s (see Figure (2)). Neglecting the material removed from block 1 by the bullet, find the speed of the bullet as it (a) leaves and (b) enters block 1....
In Figure (1), a 3.50 g bullet is fired horizontally at two blocks at rest on a frictionless table. The bullet passes through block 1 (mass 1.33 kg) and embeds itself in block 2 (mass 1.89 kg). The blocks end up with speeds V1 = 0.560 m/s and v2 = 1.42 m/s (see Figure (2)). Neglecting the material removed from block 1 by the bullet, find the speed of the bullet as it (a) leaves and (b) enters block 1....
In Figure (1), a 3.50 g bullet is fired horizontally at two blocks at rest on a frictionless table. The bullet passes through block 1 (mass 1.37 kg) and embeds itself in block 2 (mass 2.01 kg). The blocks end up with speeds v_1 = 0.600 m/s and v_2 = 1.45 m/s (see Figure (2)). Neglecting the material removed from block 1 by the bullet, find the speed of the bullet as it (a) leaves and (b) enters block 1....
A 2.9 kg block of wood sits on a frictionless table. A 3.0 g bullet, fired horizontally at a speed of 480 m/s goes completely through the block emerging at a speed of 250 m/s. What is the speed of the block of wood immediately after the bullet exits?
