Question
A 14.2 g bullet is shot vertically into a
2.64 kg block. When the bullet penetrates the block, it
comes to rest in a time interval of 1.12 ms. The block lifts
upward 9.30 mm vertically with the bullet embedded.
Ignore air resistance and ignore the force of gravity during
the 1.12 ms embedding time. Find (A) the initial kinetic
energy of the bullet before the collision and (B) find the % of
this energy lost as heat during the collision. After your
calculations, (C) show that it was a good approximation to
ignore the force of gravity during the 1.12 ms it took the
bullet to come to rest in the block
