3 (a) As shown in Figure 2a, the small block A of 15kg is placed on the large block B of 50kg. The bullet of 75g travelling at 600m/s strikes and gets embedded in the large block after the impact. Determine the energy lost during the impact. Neglect friction between any surfaces. Solution: (13 marks) 15 kg, 0 m/s A 75 g, 600 m/s B 50 kg, 0 m/s Figure 2a 3 (a) As shown in Figure 2a, the small block A of 15kg is placed on the large block B of 50kg.
