A bullet of mass m is fired into a block of mass M that is at rest. The block, with the bullet embedded, slides distance d across a horizontal surface. The coefficient of kinetic friction is μk. What is the expression for the bullet's speed vbullet? What is the speed of a 9.0 g bullet that, when fired into a 12 kg stationary woodblock, causes the block to slide 5.4 cm across a wood table? (μk =0.20).

A 60-g bullet is fired horizontally with a velocity v1 = 600 m/s into the 3-kg block of soft wood initially at rest on the horizontal surface. The bullet emerges from the block with the velocity v2 = 400 m/s, and the block is observed to slide a distance of 2.70 m before coming to rest. Determine the coefficient of kinetic friction μk between the block and the supporting surface.

 

A 5.00-g bullet is fired horizontally into a 1.20-kg wooden block resting on a horizontal surface. The coefficient of kinetic friction between block and surface is 0.20. The bullet remains embedded in the block, which is observed to slide 0.230 m along the surface before stopping. What was the initial speed of the bullet?

A 6.00 g bullet is fired horizontally into a1.30 kg wooden block resting on a horizontal surface.The coefficient of kinetic friction between block and surface is0.200. The bullet remains embedded in the block, whichis observed to slide 0.200 m along the surface beforestopping.

What was the initial speed of the bullet in m/s?
