Question

Under which conditions is momentum conserved? (Click all that apply) Momentum is always conserved Momentum is conserved when non-conservative forces do no work Momentum is conserved when no forces act on a body. Momentum is conserved when the net force acting on a body is zero. Part 2) A bullet with a mass of mbullet 17.3 g is shot out of a gun. It travels with a speed v 294 m/s towards a block with mass mblock 1.95 kg and becomes embedded in the block. During the collision, is momentum conserved? . Not answered O Yes No Part 3) ls energy conserved? O Not answered O Yes No Your last answer was interpreted as follows:1 Part 4) What is the momentum of the bullet as it travels towards the block? kgm/s towards the block Part 5) What is the speed of the block once the bullet is at rest with respect to the block? m/s

Explanation / Answer

Momentum is always conserved

During a collision momentum is conserved

momenutm of the bullet before embedding = mv = 0.0173*294 = 5.0862 kg m /s

speed of the block = mv / (M+m) = 5.0862 / (1.95 + 0.0173) = 2.58 m/s
