Question

A block of wood is attached to a very lightweight metal rod, which is attached to a fixed pivot point on a table. The block is able to slide on the table with negligible friction, and the pivot is also free to rotate with negligible friction. The block's mass is M and the rod's length is ℓ. A bullet is moving parallel to the table and perpendicular to the rod when it collides and embeds within the block. The bullet's speed just before entering the block is v and its mass is m.

(a)

Find the angular momentum of the combined bullet–block system about the vertical pivot axis. (Use any variable or symbol stated above as necessary. Enter the magnitude.) L=----

(b)

Find the fraction of the original kinetic energy of the bullet that is converted into internal energy within the bullet-block system during the collision. (Use any variable or symbol stated above as necessary.)
