A 0.0200 kg bullet moving horizontally at 500 m/s embeds itself into an initially stationary 0.500 kg block. (a) What is their velocity just after the collision? 21.07 m/s Correct: Your answer is correct. (b) The bullet-embedded block slides 8.0 m on a horizontal surface with a 0.30 kinetic coefficient of friction. Now what is its velocity? 19.92 m/s Incorrect: Your answer is incorrect. (c) The bullet-embedded block now strikes and sticks to a stationary 2.00 kg block. How far does this combination travel before stopping? 3.203 m
