In Figure (1), a 3.50 g bullet is fired horizontally at two blocks at rest on a frictionless table. The bullet passes through block 1 (mass 1.38 kg) and embeds itself in block 2 (mass 1.93 kg). The blocks end up with speeds v1 = 0.550 m/s and v2 = 1.49 m/s (see Figure (2)). Neglecting the material removed from block 1 by the bullet, find the speed of the bullet as it (a) leaves and (b) enters block 1. Frictionless

Question

In Figure (1), a 3.50 g bullet is fired horizontally at two blocks at rest on a frictionless table. The bullet passes through block 1 (mass 1.38 kg) and embeds itself in block 2 (mass 1.93 kg). The blocks end up with speeds v₁ = 0.550 m/s and v₂ = 1.49 m/s (see Figure (2)). Neglecting the material removed from block 1 by the bullet, find the speed of the bullet as it (a) leaves and (b) enters block 1.
