A 3.00-g bullet is fired horizontally into a 10.0-kg block of wood suspended by a rope from the ceiling. The bullet becomes embedded in the wood, and, as the result, the block swings up in an arc, like a ballistic pendulum, rising 3.00 mm above its original position. Which of the following is the closest to the initial speed of the bullet? Group of answer choices a. 235 m/s b. 24.3 m/s c. 75.0 m/s d. 811 m/s e. Cannot be determined since the heat generated in the collision is unknown
A 4.00 g bullet has a muzzle velocity of 230 m/s when fired by a rifle with a weight of 40.0 N. (a) Determine the recoil speed (in m/s) of the rifle. Choose a sign convention and see if you can write a statement of conservation of momentum that will allow you to determine the desired quantity. Don't forget that you have been given the weight rather than the mass of the rifle. m/s (b) If a marksman with a weight of 775 N holds the rifle firmly against his shoulder, determine the recoil speed (in m/s) of the shooter and rifle. Your approach to part (a) will also work for part (b). The only difference is that the mass of the marksman must now be included. m/s
