A wooden block of mass M rests on a table over a large hole as in Figure P6.84. A bullet of mass m with an initial veloc- ity v; is fired upward into the bottom of the block and remains in the block after the collision. The block and bullet rise to a maximum Figure P6.84 Problems 84 and 85. height of h. (a) Describe how you would find the initial velocity of the bullet using ideas you have learned in this topic. (b) Find an expression for the initial velocity of the bullet.

Suppose a fireworks shell explodes, breaking into three large pieces for which air resistance is negligible. How does the explosion affect the motion of the center of mass? How would it be affected if the pieces experienced significantly more air resistance than the intact shell?
Check Your Understanding The changes of momentum for Philae and for Comet 67/P were equal (in magnitude). Were the impulses experienced by Philae and the comet equal? How about the forces? How about the changes of kinetic energies?
Which has a larger magnitude of momentum: a 3000-kg elephant moving at 40 km/h or a 60-kg cheetah moving at 112 km/h?
For the preceding problem, find the final speed of the case of each sled for the case of an elastic collision.
Check Your Understanding Suppose the initial velocities were not at right angles to each other. How would this change both the physical result and the mathematical analysis of the collision?
Check Your Understanding Suppose there had been no friction (the collision happened on ice); that would make k zero, and thus vc.f=2kgd=0 , which is obviously wrong. What is the mistake in this conclusion?
A 2-kg object moving to the right with a speed of 4 m/s makes a head-on, elastic collision with a 1-kg object that is initially at rest. The velocity of the 1-kg object after the collision is (a) greater than 4 m/s, (b) less than 4 m/s, (c) equal to 4 m/s, (d) zero, or (e) impossible to say based on the information provided.
To increase the acceleration of a rocket, should you throw rocks out of the front window of the rocket or out of the back window?
Check Your Understanding Even if there were some friction on the ice, it is still possible to use conservation of momentum to solve this problem, but you would need to imposed an additional condition on the problem. What is that additional condition?
A bul‎let of mass m=7.500 [g] is fir‎ed horizon‎tally with a sp‎eed v=549 [m/s] into the bo‎b of a balli‎sticpendu‎lum of mass M=1.20 [kg]. Find the maxi‎mum heig‎ht h attained by the b‎o‎b if the bu‎llet passesth‎rough the bob and emerges with speed v/2.
A device called a ballistic pendulum is used to calculate the muzzle velocity of a bullet. What will be the muzzle velocity of a projectile of mass 20.5g that is fired into a 750g block and imbeds itself, causing the block, which is attached to a 75-cm string, to rise to an angle of 33 degrees?
A tennis ball of mass 57.0 g is heldjust above a basketball of mass 590 g. Withtheir centers vertically aligned, both ballsare released from rest at the same time,falling through a distance of 1.20 m, asshown in Figure P6.45. (a) Find the magnitudeof the basketball’s velocity theinstant before the basketball reaches theground. (b) Assume that an elastic collision with the groundinstantaneously reverses the velocity of the basketball so that itcollides with the tennis ball just above it. To what height doesthe tennis ball rebound?
