Calculate how much energy was lost in the collision

Reference no: EM13538805

A 10 g bullet moving 1000 m/s strikes and passes through a 2.0-kg block initially at rest, as shown. The bullet emerges from the block with a speed of 400 m/s.

(a) How much energy was lost in the collision?

(b) Calculate the average force exerted on the block assuming that the impact time is 10-4s.
