A bullet B of mass mB traveling with a speed v0= 1200 m/s ricochets off a fixed steel plate A of mass mA. Let mA >> mBso that it can be assumed that mB/mA→0. If the incidence angle of the bullet is θ= 15◦ and the COR of the impact is e= 0.5, determine the rebound angle φ, as well as the bullet’s rebound speed. Use conservation lawmethods to solve the problem
