This question is one i got from uni. i just can't seem to get the right answers. Please post your worked solutions, i will tell you if you get the answer found on my sheet. Best of luck Guys, you might need it.
A 3.00 kg block of wood is suspended at rest by a thin thread attached to a supporting beam. A bullet of mass 32.0 g is fired vertica1ly upwards with velocity 415 m/s into the wood directly above it. The block and the bullet inside it move upwards together.
1 Determine the speed of the upward moving block and bullet immediately after the collision.
.
2 Calculate the total kinetic energy of the block and bullet immediately after the collision.
3 Calculate the maximum height the block and bullet reach.
