3 /143 SS A 2-oz bullet is fired horizontally with a velocity v1 = 1800 ft/sec into the 6−lb block of soft wood initially at rest on the horizontal surface. The bullet emerges from the block with the velocity v2 = 1200 ft/sec, and the block is observed to slide a distance of 8 ft before coming to rest. Determine the coefficient of kinetic friction μk between the block and the supporting surface.
You'll get a detailed, step-by-step and expert verified solution.
