Question:
A {eq}13\ g {/eq} bullet traveling {eq}330\ \rm m/s {/eq} penetrates a {eq}2.0\ kg {/eq} Block of wood and emerges going {eq}270\ \rm m/s {/eq} . If the block is stationary on a frictionless surface when hit how fast does it move after the bullet emerges?
Conservation of Momentum:
Momentum is the product of mass and velocity. After a collision, the law of conservation of momentum states that the total initial momentum and the total final momentum must be the same.
