Question Number 29212 by NECx last updated on 05/Feb/18
A block of wood of mass 0.6kg is  balanced on top of vertical port  2m high.A 10g bullet is fired  horizontally into the block and  the embedded bullet land at a 4m  from the base of the port.Find  the initial velocity of the bullet.

v_0 =initial velocity of bullet  v_1 =velocity of wood with bullet  t=(√((2h)/g))  L=v_1 t=v_1 (√((2h)/g))  ⇒v_1 =L(√(g/(2h)))  m_B v_0 =(m_B +m_W )v_1   ⇒v_0 =((m_B +m_W )/m_B )×v_1   =((m_B +m_W )/m_B )×L(√(g/(2h)))  =((10+600)/(10))×4(√((10)/(2×2)))  =122(√(10))  ≈386 m/s
$${v}_{\mathrm{0}} ={initial}\:{velocity}\:{of}\:{bullet} \\ $$$${v}_{\mathrm{1}} ={velocity}\:{of}\:{wood}\:{with}\:{bullet} \\ $$$${t}=\sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{2}{h}}{{g}}} \\ $$$${L}={v}_{\mathrm{1}} {t}={v}_{\mathrm{1}} \sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{2}{h}}{{g}}} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{v}_{\mathrm{1}} ={L}\sqrt{\frac{{g}}{\mathrm{2}{h}}} \\ $$$${m}_{{B}} {v}_{\mathrm{0}} =\left({m}_{{B}} +{m}_{{W}} \right){v}_{\mathrm{1}} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{v}_{\mathrm{0}} =\frac{{m}_{{B}} +{m}_{{W}} }{{m}_{{B}} }×{v}_{\mathrm{1}} \\ $$$$=\frac{{m}_{{B}} +{m}_{{W}} }{{m}_{{B}} }×{L}\sqrt{\frac{{g}}{\mathrm{2}{h}}} \\ $$$$=\frac{\mathrm{10}+\mathrm{600}}{\mathrm{10}}×\mathrm{4}\sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{10}}{\mathrm{2}×\mathrm{2}}} \\ $$$$=\mathrm{122}\sqrt{\mathrm{10}} \\ $$$$\approx\mathrm{386}\:{m}/{s} \\ $$
