The puffer fish (tetradontiade) can employ a defense mechanism whereby it fills its stomach with water until the fish is almost spherical in shape. The shape, in conjunction with its external spines, are a significant deterrent to predators. Suppose that a puffer fish takes in water until its mass has increased by f = 1.89 times its initial mass. In this state, and initially at rest, the puffer fish expels the water with a speed s in one direction, while the fish recoils in the opposite direction at a speed v. For this problem neglect the drag-force effects of the surrounding ocean water. Write an expression for v/s in terms of f.
A 8.00 g bullet is fired horizontally into a 1.20 kg wooden block resting on a horizontal surface. The coefficient of kinetic friction between block and surface is 0.20. The bullet remains embedded in the block, which is observed to slide 0.390 m along the surface before stopping. What was the initial speed of the bullet?
