A problem & answer

*A 13-g bullet traveling 230 m/s penetrates a 2.0-kg block of wood and emerges going 170 m/s. If the block is stationary on a frictionless surface when hit, how fast does it move after the bullet emerges?

P at start p=mv m=.013kg

P=(.013kg)(230m\s) v=230m\s

P = 2.99 kg*m\s

P loss due to hitting board.

P=mv P=2.21 Kg*m/s

P=(.013)(170) M=(.013kg)

P=2.21 Kg*m/s V=170m/s

P loss Pi -Po =Ploss
