M Consider the figure above.... A clay block has a mass of 2.6 kg. It rests upon on a friction-less, horizontal surface. The blokc is attached to a rigid rod of length 0.45 m, and of negligible mass. The rod is pivotted at the other end. A bullet of mass 2.7 g traveling parallel to the horizontal surface and perpendicular to the rod with speed 207 m/s hits the block and becomes embedded in it. (a) What is the angular momentum of the bullet/block system about a vertical axis through the pivot? (b) What fraction of the original kinetic energy of the bullet is converted into internal energy in the system during the collision?
