The bullet penetrates into the block and stops due to


The bullet penetrates into the block and stops due to itsfriction with the block. The compound system of the block plus thebullet rises to a height of 7 cm along a circular arc with a 13 cmradius. Assume: The entire track is frictionless. A bullet with am1 =30 g mass is fired horizontally into a block of wood withm2 =5.12 kg mass. The acceleration of gravity is9.8m/s2 .

a.) Calculate the total energy of the composite system at any timeafter the collision. Answer in units of J

b.) Taking the same parametervalues as those in Part 1, determine the initial velocity of thebullet. Answer in units of m/s.

c.) Denote vbullet to be the initialvelocity, find the momentum of the compound systemimmediately after the collision.
