I am not sure if I am doing this question right.
A 10g bullet, traveling at 400 m/s hits a block of wood & emerges going at 350 m/s. How fast goes the block of wood move after being hit?
Is this the right way to solve it?:
mv of the bullet + mv of the block = mv' of the bullet + mv' of...

we just took a test on that today (one i failed btw but none the less...) you can't destroy or create energy but I don't see how that has to do with the waterfall being all weird and not making sense how it falls...
Well I am thinking its both considering everything with mass has gravity. But ofcourse the Earth has a lot more mass. I didnt even look at the picture that way. I guess I get the point but I don't know what law that would pertain to or how to put it into the words. The best I can come up with is...
lol I am in 11th grade 7 honors physics! I know that its not possible but I don't know why. I can't just say gravity lol but that's the only thing I can think of.
