Question
A 5 kg block at rest is hit by a 0.1 kg bullet moving at
500 m/s. The bullet gets embedded into the block. What is their final velocity?Solution
We are given:
- Bullet mass = 0.1 kg, initial speed = 500 m/s
- Block mass = 5 kg, initially at rest
- The bullet gets embedded into the block (i.e., perfectly inelastic collision)
- We are to find the final velocity (Vf) of the bullet-block system after collision
- Bullet: p₁ = 0.1 × 500 = 50 kg·m/s
- Block: p₂ = 5 × 0 = 0
- Total initial momentum = 50 kg·m/s
