A 4.00 g bullet is moving horizontally with a velocity of +355 m/s, where the sign indicates that it is moving to the right. The bullet is approaching two blocks resting on a horizontal frictionless table of height 25.0 cm above the ground. Air resistance is negligible. The mass of the first block is 1.15 kg, and its velocity is +0.550 m/s after the bullet passes through it. The mass of the second black is 1.53 kg. If the bullet passes completely through the first block and embeds itself in the second one, (a) what is the velocity of the second block after the bullet embeds itself? If the bullet passes completely through both blocks and moves with a velocity +50.0 m/s after leaving the second block, (b) what is the velocity of the second block after the collision? After the bullet leaves the two blocks, the first block collides with the second block and moves with a velocity +0.200 m/s after the collision, (c) what is the velocity of the second block after the collision with the first block? The second block eventually leaves the table and falls to the ground, (d) what is the speed of the second block right before it lands on the ground and (e) what is the horizontal distance between the edge of the table and the landing point? 355 m/s Block 1 25.0 cm Fig. 4.1: before collision Block 2 Block 1, +0.550 m/s 10 25.0 cm Block 2 Fig. 4.2: after the collision between the bullet and block 1
