You fire an old rifle at a block of wood. The mass of the block of wood is 231 g and it dimensions are 10.2 cm × 10.2 cm × 3.16 cm. The bullet has a mass of 24.6 grams. Assume no air resistance and that the collision is perfectly inelastic. The velocity of the bullet is 22: m/s right before it hits the block. Assume no mass is lost when the two objects collide. 10.2 cm 1. The distance the bullet hits from the center of mass is 3.4 cm COM. How high up does the block travel? cm 2. What is the rotation rate (rev/s) of the block & bullet system directly after impact? 3.16
