The given data we have: Mass of the bullet: mB=5.00g Mass of the block of wood: mW=2.00kg Height gained by the block of wood: h=3.00cm Using the law of conservation of energy, we can say that the initial kinetic energy of the bullet transferred to the block of wood to store potential energy. So, the initial kinetic energy will be: K.E=12mBvi2 The potential energy gained by the combined mass of block and bullet will be: P.E=(mB+mW)gh On equating both the equations, we get: 12mBvi2=(mB+mW)gh=>vi2=2(mB+mW)ghmB=>vi=2(mB+mW)ghmB Therefore, the initial velocity of the bullet will be: vi=2(mB+mW)ghmBOn substituting the given values in the equation for initial velocity, we get: vi=2(0.005+2)(9.81)(0.03)0.005 =15.36m/s

How fast is a speeding bullet? The figure below shows a simple form of a ballistic pendulum, which is a system for measuring the speed of a bullet. The bullet, with mass mB, is fired into a block of wood with mass mw, suspended like a pendulum. a. The bullet makes a completely inelastic collision with the block, becoming embedded in it. After the impact, the block swings up to a maximum height h. What is the initial speed vi of the bullet? What becomes of its initial kinetic energy? Give the initial speed in terms of mB, mw, h, and any other physical constants necessary. b. If mB = 5.00 g, mw = 2.00 kg, h = 3.00 cm, what is the initial speed v; of the bullet? c. Using the values given in (b), what is the total kinetic energy of the system just before and just after impact? Explain why your answer makes sense.
