Problem 2: A 10 grams bullet moving at 800 m/sec hits 1000 grams block of wood and stays inside the block. The block had been originally at rest and is free to move. Immediately after the collision the block-bullet system starts to move up a ramp that is incline at 30 degrees. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the ramp surface is 0.30. How far up the ramp will the block and bullet system move after the collision before coming to rest?

Question
**Problem 2:**

A 10 gram bullet moving at 800 m/s hits a 1000 gram block of wood and stays inside the block. The block had been originally at rest and is free to move. Immediately after the collision, the block-bullet system starts to move up a ramp that is inclined at 30 degrees. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the ramp surface is 0.30. How far up the ramp will the block and bullet system move after the collision before coming to rest?

**Diagram Explanation:**

The diagram shows:

- A right triangle representing the inclined ramp.
- The incline angle θ is given as 30 degrees.
- A block sits at the bottom of the incline with an arrow indicating the bullet's direction of movement into the block.
- The block-bullet system is shown to move up the incline after the collision.
- The diagram visually supports the scenario described in the problem statement.
