Problem The ballistic pendulum (Fig. 6.12a) is a device used to measure the speed of a fast-moving projectile such as a bullet. The bullet is red into a large block of wood suspended from some light wires. The bullet is stopped by the block, and the entire system swings up to a height h. It is possible to obtain the initial speed of the bullet by measuring h and the two masses. As an example of the technique, assume that the mass of the bullet, m 1, is 5.00 g, the mass of the pendulum, m 2, is 1.000 kg, and h is 5.00 cm. Find the initial speed of the bullet, v 1i .

Problem A car with mass 1.50 103 kg traveling east at a speed of 25.0 m/s collides at an intersection with a 2.50 103-kg van traveling north at a speed of 20.0 m/s, as shown in Figure 6.16. Find the magnitude and direction of the velocity of the wreckage after the collision, assuming that the vehicles undergo a perfectly inelastic collision (that is, they stick together) and assuming that friction between the vehicles and the road can be neglected.

An 8.00- g bullet is red into a 250-g block that is initially at rest at the edge of a table of height 1.00 m (Fig. P6.30). The bullet remains in the block, and after the impact the block lands 2.00 m from the bottom of the table. Determine the initial speed of the bullet. 8.00 g 250 g
