Q.

A bullet of mass 10 g moving horizontally with a velocity of 400 ms-1 strikes a wooden block of mass 2 kg which is suspended by a light inextensible string of length 5 m. As a result, the center of gravity of the block is found to rise a vertical distance of 10 cm. The speed of the bullet after it emerges out horizontally from the block will be

101000×400+0 = 2×v1+101000×v2

4 = 2v1+0.01 v2---------------(1)

Applying work energy theorem for block
W = KE
= 2 x 10 x 0.1 = 12×2×v21
v1 = 2 = 1.4 m/s
Putting the value of v1, in equation (l),
4 = 2 x 1.4 + 0.01 v2
 v2 = 120 m/s
