What is the speed of the block of wood

Reference no: EM13536612

An 8 g bullet traveling at 340 m/s is shot into a 0.7 kg block of wood suspended from the ceiling by a 2.5 m long light rope. The block is initially at rest before the bullet and the block have a perfectly inelastic collision.

What is the speed of the block of wood just after the bullet embeds itself?

How high (above its starting position) does the block reach after the collision?
