1. (5points) A bullet of mass
is moving horizontally with a velocity of
, where the
sign indicates that it is moving to the right (see part
of the drawing). The bullet is approaching two blocks resting on a horizontal frictionless surface. Air resistance is negligible. The bullet passes completely through the first block (an inelastic collision) and embeds itself in the second one, as indicated in part
. Note that both blocks are moving after the collision with the bullet. The mass of the first block is
, and its velocity is
after the bullet passes through it. The mass of the second block is
.
(a) What is the velocity of the second block after the bullet imbeds itself?
(b) Find the ratio of the total kinetic energy after the collision to that before the collison.
