Question: In Figure A below, a bullet is fired into a block of wood and the bullet and block of wood swing up to a maximum height. This device is called a ballistic pendulum. Agree or Disagree with the following statement: "The mass of the bullet can be determined if you know the velocity of the bullet, mass of the block of wood, and the maximum height after the collision." Discuss why or why not this is possible. Figure A

A bullet with a mass mb = 11.5 g is fired into a block of wood at velocity vb = 245 m/s. The block is attached to a spring that has a spring constant k of 205 N/m. The block and bullet continue to move, compressing the spring by 35.0 cm before the whole system momentarily comes to a stop. Assuming that the surface on which the block is resting is frictionless, determine the mass mw of the wooden block. mw = kg

A bullet of mass 5.00 g is fired into a block of mass M = 750 g that is initially at rest on the edge of a table with height h = 1.50 m. The bullet remains in the block, and after the impact the block lands d = 2.11 m from the bottom of the table. Determine the initial speed of the bullet.
