Question

horizontally at 460 m/s is shot through a 1.50 kg wood block suspended on a string 1.00 mlong. Part A If the center of mass of the block rises a distance of 0.500 cm , find the speed of the bullet as it emerges from the block. Express your answer in meters per second to three significant figures. horizontally at 460 m/s is shot through a 1.50 kg wood block suspended on a string 1.00 mlong.

Explanation / Answer

[you didnt give how many grams of bullet, so i am assuming 5.00 g bullet]

Initial K.E= 1/2 m v2 = 0.5 * 0.005 kg * 4602 = 529 J

Energy gained by the block after the impact = m g h = 1.50 * 9.81 * 0.005 m = 0.0736 J

K.E. of bullet after impact = Initial K.E - Energy transferred

= 529 - 0.0736 = 528.93 J

K.E = 1/2 m v2 = 528.93

v2 = 528.93 * 2 / 0.005

v = 460 m/s
