Final position of block " = 0.63 m

pellet

initial position of block
pellet of mass 8.80 g strikes a stationary wooden block and is completely embedded in
t. The centre of mass of the block rises by 0.63 m. The wooden block has a mass of 450
(a)
Determine the speed of the pellet when it strikes the wooden block.

(b) The wooden block is replaced by a steel block of the same mass. The experiment is
repeated with the steel block and an identical pellet. The pellet rebounds after striking the
block. Discuss how the height the steel
with the height of 0.63 m
reached by the wooden block. In your an
ergy and momentum changes
that occur in the two experiments.
