5.Work, Energy, Power and Collision
normal
A bullet of mass $m$ moving with a speed $v$ strikes a wooden block of mass $M$ and gets embedded into the block. The final speed is

A
$\sqrt {\frac{M}{{M + m}}} v$
B
$\sqrt {\frac{m}{{M + m}}} v$
C
$\frac{m}{{M + m}}v$
D
$\frac {v}{2}$
Solution
$mv\, = \,\left( {M + m} \right){v_f}$
$\therefore \,\,{v_f} = \frac{m}{{M + m}}v$
