Consider a ballistic pendulum (see Section 7.6) in which a bullet strikes a block of wood. The wooden block is hanging from the ceiling and swings up to a maximum height after the bullet strikes it. Typically, the bullet becomes embedded in the block. Given the same bullet, the same initial bullet speed, and the same block, would the maximum height of the block change if the bullet did not get stopped by the block but passed through to the other side? Would the height change if the bullet and its speed were the same but the block was steel and the bullet bounced off it, directly backward?
