Someone fires a 0.04 kg bullet at a block of wood that has a mass of 0.5 kg. (The block of wood is sitting on a frictionless sur

face, so it moves freely when the bullet hits it). The wood block is initially at rest. The bullet is traveling 300 m/s when it hits the wood block and sticks inside it. Now the bullet and the wood block move together as one object. How fast are they traveling? Please show your work

The momentum of the wood and the bullet is equal to the momentum of the bullet before it hits the wood = 0.04 x 300 = 120 kg m/sHence (0.5 + 0.04)*v = 120 kg m/s, v = 120 kg m/s / 0.54 kg = 222.2 m/s3) Force = rate of change of momentum = 0.16(38+44)/0.002 = 6560 N

If a golf ball and a ping-pong ball both move with the same kinetic energy, which has the greater speed? 1. the golf ball 2. can
schepotkina [342]
Think about it like this, the more mass there is, the faster its going to go. If you took a golf ball and a ping pong ball and you held them each separately, you would notice that the golf ball is heavier. If they move with the same kinetic energy, but the golf ball WEIGHS more, then the golf ball will have the greater speed. If you think about it, the ping pong ball may be taking its time to get to wherever its going.
