A 0.45 caliber bullet (m = 10.7 g) is fired into a large block of wood (M = 0.750 kg) so that the bullet becomes lodged in the block. Earlier ballistics tests showed that the speed of the bullet before the collision is 320 m/s. After the collision, the block is observed to slide across the floor (u_k = 0.350) for a distance (D) before coming to a stop. Anser the following:

(a) What was the momentum, in kgm/s, of the bullet before the collision?

(b) What is the speed of the block after the collision?

(d) How far (D) will the block slide before stopping?
