1. (3 points) What kind of collision does conserve momentum? What kind of collision does not
conserve mechanical energy?
2. (6 points) A bullet with a mass of 56 gram s moving with a speed of
100 m/s slams into and wedges in a 1.6 kilogram block of wood
initially at rest. The block is supported by a string as in the diagram
to the right. Which one, conservation of energy or conservation of
momentum, can be applied to this situation? Why?
3. (6 points) How high (∆h) does the block in problem #2 swing after being hit by the bullet?
