What is the decrease in kinetic energy of the bullet

Reference no: EM13333518

A 5.00-g bullet, traveling horizontally with a velocity of magnitude 360 m/s, is fired into a wooden block with mass 0.800 kg, initially at rest on a level surface. The bullet passes through the block and emerges with its speed reduced to 120 m/s. The block slides a distance of 60.0 cm along the surface from its initial position.

(a) What is the coefficient of kinetic friction between block and surface?

(b) What is the decrease in kinetic energy of the bullet?
