Question:
A bullet shot at 500 m/s into a block of wood of mass 0.49 kg and becomes in-bedded in it. If it gives the block a speed of 11 m/s, find the mass of the bullet.
Conservation of Momentum:
When two moving objects collide with one another, their total momenta is conserved. Specifically, the toal momenta of the two colliding bodies before the event is equivalent to the total momenta after.

Conservation of momentum means that momentum is neither created nor destroyed and that the total momentum of a closed system is constant. Work through an example experiment on conservation of momentum and analyze the resulting data to understand this concept.
