Answer:
Explanation:
Remark
This is a conservation problem.
The momentum before impact = momentum after impact
momentum before
m = 0.04 kg
v = 300 m/s
momentum after
m = 0.5 kg + 0.04kg That's the mass of the block and bullet
v = ?
Solution
0.04 * 300 = 0.54 * x
12 kg m/s = 0.54 kg * x
12 / 0.54 = x
x = 22.22 m/s
