In an experiment designed to determine the velocity of a bullet fired by a certain gun, a wooden block of mass M = 555.0 g is supported only by its edges, and a bullet of mass m = 7.25 g is fired vertically upward into the block from close range below. After the bullet embeds itself in the block, the block and the bullet are measured to rise to a maximum height of 40.0 cm above the block's original position. What is the speed of the bullet just before impact?
Homework Answers
This problem is based upon conservation of energy, initially there is kinetic energy in the bullet which gets converted into gravitation potential energy completely when block and bullet reach maximum hieght in there flight.
Since there is an inelastic collision between block and the bullet, there will be some loss of energy hence,
Speed of bullet plus block initially is,
=
Now using conservation of momentum we have,
7.25*v = (7.25 + 555)*2.8
v = 217.144 m/s is the speed of bullet just before collision

The ballistic pendulum is a simple device—the pendulum part consists of a wooden block, which has a mass of 860. grams, hanging from a string. The block is initially at rest. However, a bullet with a mass of 18.0 grams is fired at the block. The bullet embeds itself in the block, and the bullet and block then oscillate back and forth on the string, pendulum style, after the collision. Just before impact with the block, the bullet's velocity is...

A 35 g bullet is fired horizontally into a hanging wooden block (mass 1.7kg) as shown in (Figure 1). The bullet's initial speed is 300 m/s . The bullet becomes embedded in the block, which then swings upward some height. What is the maximum height to which the block rises? Instead of getting embedded in the block, the bullet passes completely through it, emerging on the other side with a speed of 100 m/s . How high does the block...

A bullet with mass m = 40 grams traveling at v = 400 m/s strikes a block of wood suspended from a ceiling with a massless cord. The collision last for 15 milliseconds, and after it is completed the bullet embeds itself into the block. Then, the combined system rises to a maximum height has its swings upward as shown. The mass of the wooden block is M=5.0kg and the length of the cord is L = 1.25 m. Calculate...

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...
