A bullet of mass 20 g moving horizontally at a speed of 300 m/s is fired into a wooden block of mass 500 g suspended by a long string. The bullet crosses the block and emerges on the other side. If the centre of mass of the block rises through a height of 20.0 cm, find the speed of the bullet as it emerges from the block.

उत्तर
Given:
Mass of bullet, m = 20 gm = 0.02 kg
Horizontal speed of the bullet, u = 300 m/s
Mass of wooden block, M = 500 gm = 0.5 kg
Let the bullet emerges out with velocity v.
Let the velocity of the block be v'.
Using the law of conservation of momentum, we get:
mu = Mv' + mv ...(1)
Now, applying the work-energy principle for the block after the collision, we get:
\[0 - \left( \frac{1}{2} \right)M \times \left( v' \right)^2 = - Mgh\]
\[ \Rightarrow (v' )^2 = 2gh\]
\[ v' = \sqrt{2gh}\]
\[ = \sqrt{20 \times 10 \times 0 . 2} = 2 \text{ m/s}\]
On substituting the value of v' in equation (1), we get:
\[0 . 02 \times 300 = 0 . 5 \times 2 + 0 . 02 \times v\]
\[ \Rightarrow v = \frac{6 - 1}{0 . 02} = \frac{5}{0 . 02}\]
\[ \Rightarrow v = 250 \text{ m/s}\]
\[0 . 02 \times 300 = 0 . 5 \times 2 + 0 . 02 \times v\]
\[ \Rightarrow v = \frac{6 - 1}{0 . 02} = \frac{5}{0 . 02}\]
\[ \Rightarrow v = 250 \text{ m/s}\]
Hence, the speed of the bullet as it emerges out from the block is 250 m/s.

A man of mass M having a bag of mass m slips from the roof of a tall building of height H and starts falling vertically in the following figure. When at a height h from the ground, the notices that the ground below him is pretty hard, but there is a pond at a horizontal distance x from the line of fall. In order to save himself he throws the bag horizontally (with respect to himself) in the direction opposite to the pond. Calculate the minimum horizontal velocity imparted to the bag so that the man lands in the water. If the man just succeeds to avoid the hard ground, where will the bag land?
