Question

As shown above, a 0.100 kg bullet is initially moving parallel to a 20.0o inclined plane at a speed of 400. m/s. The bullet hits and sticks into a 5.00 kg stationary wood block and the combined bullet and block slide up the long incline. As it slides, the coefficient of kinetic friction between the bottom of the block and the inclined plane is 0.200. Find the distance L that the bullet + block slide up the plane before coming to rest. You must solve this problem using conservation of linear momentum and either the work-energy theorm or conservation of energy!
