Question
A 4.00 g bullet travelling horizontally with a magnitude of 440 m/s is tired into a wooden block with a mass of 0.80 kg intitially st rest on a level surface. The bullet passes through the block and emerges with its speed reduced to 160 m/s.

- Current Attempt in Progress In the figure here, a stationary block explodes into two pieces L and R that slide across a frictionless floor and then into regions with friction, where they stop. Piece L, with a mass of 3.3 kg, encounters a coefficient of kinetic friction u = 0.45 and slides to a stop in distance d = 0.33 m. Piece R encounters a coefficient of kinetic friction µr = 0.52 and slides to a stop in distance de = 0.46 m. What was the mass of the block?
