A bullet with a mass m 483 g and initial speed of 330 ms


A bullet with a mass m = 4.83 g and initial speed of 330 m/s passes through a wheel which is initially at rest as in the figure. The wheel is a solid disk with mass M = 2.29 kg and radius R = 18.6 cm. The wheel rotates freely about an axis through its center and out of the plane shown in the figure. The bullet passes through the wheel at a perpendicular distance 14.8 cm from the center. After passing through the wheel it has a speed of 219 m/s.

(a) What is the angular speed of the wheel just after the bullet leaves it?

(b) How much kinetic energy was lost in the collision?
