A 0.11 kg bullet traveling at speed hits a 18.3 kg block of wood and stays in the wood. The block with the bullet imbedded in it moves forward with a velocity of 8.8 m/s. What was the velocity (speed) of the bullet immediately before it hit the block (in m/s)?
using conservation of momentum
m1 v1 = (m1 + m2) v
0.11* v1 = (18.3 + 0.11)* 8.8
v1 = 1472.8 m/s

Comment before rate in case any doubt, will reply for sure.. goodluck

A 0.014 kg bullet traveling horizontally at 403 m/s strikes a 4 kg block of wood sitting at the very edge of a horizontal table of height 1 meters. The bullet is lodged into the wood. [For the signs of directions in this problem, take forward and upward to be positive; backward and down to be negative.] a) What is the momentum of the bullet right before it impacts the block of wood? b) What is the momentum of the...
A 0.012-kg bullet, traveling at 850 m/s, hits a 2-kg block of wood that is initially at rest, and goes straight through it. Assume that the final velocity of the bullet relative to the block is 400 m/s, and that the system is isolated. (a) What is the coefficient of restitution for this collision? (b) How much kinetic energy is “lost” in the collision? (c) What is the final velocity of the block?
A 2.00-g bullet hits and becomes embedded in a 5.00-kg wood block which is hanging from a 1.20-m long string. This causes the block to swing through an arc of 3.50°. What was the speed of the bullet before it hit the block?
A gun fires a bullet vertically into a 1.40 kg block of wood at
rest on a thin horizontal sheet. If the bullet has a mass of 24.p g
and a speed of m/s determine:
Problem 3 (10 Points) A gun fires a bullet vertically into a 1.40 kg block of wood at rest on a thin horizontal sheet. If the bullet has a mass of 24.0 g and a 1.40 kg speed of 310 m/s, determine: A) The speed...
A 0.0101-kg bullet traveling horizontally at 412 m/s strikes a 3.84-kg block of wood sitting at the edge of a table. The bullet is lodged into the wood. If the table height is 1.08 m, how far from the table does the block hit the floor?
1. A 23-g bullet traveling 230 m/sm/s penetrates a 4.9 kg block of wood and emerges cleanly at 175 m/s. If the block is stationary on a frictionless surface when hit, how fast does it move after the bullet emerges? 2. A 11800 kg railroad car travels alone on a level frictionless track with a constant speed of 24.5 m/s. A 6800 kg load, initially at rest, is dropped onto the car. What will be the car's new speed?
Ballistic and Springs-- An 8g bullet is shot into a 2.2-kg block of wood thatis initially at rest. The bullet embeds in the block, and together they slide on a horizontal frictionless surface at 1.2 m/s towards on unstrained ideal spring that is fixed to a wall. The spring is compressed by the block as it comes to a momentary stop. Ignore the effects of air resistance. (a) What is the velocity of the bullet immediately before it hits the...
A 22-g bullet traveling 255 m/s penetrates a 1.9 kg block of wood and emerges going 130 m/s . If the block is stationary on a frictionless surface when hit, how fast does it move after the bullet emerges?
A bullet of mass 8 g is fired into a 1.2 kg ballistic pendulum (a block of wood acting as the pendulum bob of a thin metal arm attached to a low friction pivot point) that is initially at rest. The bullet exits the block of wood with a speed of 180 m/s and the wooden block swings from its lowest point to a maximum height of 9.2 cm above that location. Determine the velocity of the bullet before it...
A 2.9 kg block of wood sits on a frictionless table. A 3.0 g bullet, fired horizontally at a speed of 480 m/s goes completely through the block emerging at a speed of 250 m/s. What is the speed of the block of wood immediately after the bullet exits?
