A 5.00-g bullet is fired horizontally into a 1.20-kg wooden block resting on a horizontal surface. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the surface is 0.20. The bullet remains embedded in the block, which is observed to slide 0.230 m along the surface before stopping. (a) What was teh initial speed of the bullet?
(b) What kind of collision took place between the bullet and the block? Explain your answer comparing the values of the kinetic energy before and after the collision.
(c) Calculate the impulse of the block from the moment just after the impact to his final position. Analyze the result.

Amachinist turns the power on to a grinding wheel, at rest, at time t = 0 s. the wheel accelerates uniformly for 10 s and reaches the operating angular velocity of 96 rad/s. the wheel is run at that angular velocity for 40 s and then power is shut off. the wheel slows down uniformly at 1.5 rad/s2 until the wheel stops. in this situation, the time interval of deceleration is closest to:
