Answer:
mass of bullet=10g=0.01kg
velocity of bullet=1.5 m/s
mass of plank=90g=0.09kg
Total momentum before collision=mass of plank × velocity
=0.01×1.5+0.09×0=0.015kg m/s
Total momentum after collision=(mass of bullet +mass of plank )× velocity
=0.1kg×V=0.1Vkg m/s
According to law of conservation of momentum,
Total momentum before collision=Total momentum after collision
0.015kg m/s=0.1vkg m/s
velocity acquired by the plank and the bullet=0.15 m/s
