A thin block of soft wood with a mass of 0.078 kg rests on a horizontal frictionless surface. A bullet with a mass of 4.67 g is fired with a speed of 633 m/s at a block of wood
and passes completely through it. The speed of the block is 24 m/s immediately after the bullet exits the block.
(a) Determine the speed (in m/s) of the bullet as it exits the block.
m/s
(b) Determine if the final kinetic energy of this system (block and bullet) is equal to, less than, or greater than the initial kinetic energy.
O equal to the initial kinetic energy
O less than the initial kinetic energy
O greater than the initial kinetic energy
