A bullet of mass m = 16.9 g traveling horizontally at speed vo = 492 m/s strikes a block of mass M = 835 g sitting on a frictionless, horizontal table. This time, however, it comes out the other side of the block at speed v = 423 m/s.
a) Find V, the speed of the block after the bullet exits the block.
b) Calculate J, the magnitude of the impulse exerted by the bullet on the block.
c) Find e, the coefficient of restitution for this collision between the block and the bullet.
