Homework Statement
A 10.0g bullet is fired into a stationary block of wood (m=5.00 kg). The bullet imbeds into the block. The speed of the bullet-plus-wood combination immediately after the collision is 0.600 m/s. What was the original speed of the bullet?
ball m=10.0g=0.01kg
wood m= 5.00kg
Vf=0.600m/s
Vi=?
Homework Equations
p=mv
The Attempt at a Solution
i=change in momentum
=mVi-mVf
So, solve for Vi?
Then I would have to know what i is, right?
Thank you.
