- Question 19 A 0.01kg bullet is shot upward (+y axis) at 3600kph and hits and passes through the center of mass of a 5kg stationary block. The bullet emerges from the block and continues to move upward at 1440kph. To what maximum height does the block then rise above from its original position? (Answer in 3 decimal places, no unit) UNIT: marrow_forwardIn the figure here, a stationary block explodes into two pieces L and R that slide across a frictionless floor and then into regions with friction, where they stop. Piece L, with a mass of 3.3 kg, encounters a coefficient of kinetic friction HL = 0.52 and slides to a stop in distance di = 0.32 m. Piece R encounters a coefficient of kinetic friction µR = 0.49 and slides to a stop in distance dr = 0.49 m.

On a cold day (-16.3 degree F), a young bull spies an older bull 13.9 m away and charges! The two meet in a head-on collision and come to a complete stop. The young bull has a mass of 681 kg and was running at a speed of 9.5 m/s. The older bull has a mass of 654 kg. The collision takes place on an icy patch, so you can ignore friction. (a) What was the speed of the older bull? (b) How many joules of energy were "lost" in this collision?arrow_forward
