An 8 g bullet is fired horizontally into a 9 kg cobe of wood, which is at rest, and sticks in it. The cube is free to move and has a speed 40 cm/s after impact. Find the initial velocity of the bullet?

Penyelesaian :
Di sini, sistem = peluru + balok kayu. Kecepatan balok sebelum tumbukan adalah nol, maka momentumnya nol. Hukum kekekalan momentum menyatakan :
Momentum sistem sebelum tumbukan = momentum sistem sesudah tumbukan
(momentum peluru) + (momentum balok) = (momentum balok + peluru)
(0,008 kg)v + 0 = (9,008 kg)(0,40 m/s)
Consider the system (cube + bullet). The velocity, and hence the momentum, of the cube before impact is zero. Take the bullet's initial motion to be positive in the positive x-direction The momentum conservation law tells us that :
Momentum of system before impact = momentum of system after impact
(momentum of bullet) + omentum of cube) = (momentum of bullet + cube)
(0,008 kg)v + 0 = (9,008 kg)(0,40 m/s)
