Question

A 20 gm bullet is shot horizontally and collides with a 1.98 kg block of wood. The bullet embeds in the block and the block slides along a rough horizontal surface for 1.5 m. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and surface is 0.4, the original speed of the bullet is 

Moderate
Solution

  by consrvation of linear momentum mv=(m+M)V 20x10-3v=(0.02+1.98)V V=10-2v stoping distance S= V22a here a=μg V2=2μgs 10-4 v2=2(0.4)(10)(1.5) v=2003
