Consider a head-on elastic collision of a ‘bullet’ of rest-mass M with a stationary ‘target’ of rest-mass m. Prove that the post-collision γ-factor of the bullet cannot exceed (m2+M2 )/(2Mm). This means that for large bullet energies (with γ-factors much larger than this critical value), the relative transfer of energy from bullet to target is almost total.

1. A bullet of mass m -25.0 g is fired into a stationary block of mass m, -4.00 kg, which is suspended on a rope, as shown below. The bullet is initially traveling with velocity v. - 400 m/s, passes through the block and emerges with a final velocity horizontally Immediately after the impact the block travels upward with a velocity of 2.00 m's and reaches a vertical height, h before coming to rest. Determine the maximum height the block...
