Question

A bullet of mass 8g moving with a velocity of 400ms-1 gets embedded in a freely suspended
wooden block of mass 800g.What is the velocity acquired by the block?

Answer 1

Answer:

v = 4.4 m/s

Explanation:

We are given that a bullet of mass 10 g moving with a velocity of 400 m/s gets embedded in a freely suspended wooden block of mass 900 g. Let the final velocity acquired by the block be 'v m/s'. So, v = 4.4 m/s which means this is the velocity acquired by the block.
