Q3. 1. A bullet of mass 10.0 g is fired horizontally into a suspended block of wood of mass 2.50 kg. After a very rapid collision, the bullet gets stuck in the wood and the block then swings upward to a maximum height of 20.0 cm. (We referred to such a system as a "ballistic pendulum". a) What was the speed of the bullet/block combination just after the collision? b) What was the original speed of the bullet? 0|= 2.50 kg 2.50kg 20.0 cm 2.30:kg 2.50 kg Q3. 1.
