physics help need done soon please ?

An 8 g bullet is fired into a 319 g block that

is initially at rest at the edge of a frictionless

table of height 1.1 m. The bullet remains in

the block, and after impact the block lands

1.7 m from the bottom of the table. Find the initial speed of the bullet. The

acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s ^2

.

Answer in units of m/s.

A 4.15 g bullet is fired vertically into a 1.98 kg

block of wood.

The bullet gets stuck in the block, and the

impact lifts the block 0.074 m up. (That is,

the block — with the bullet stuck in it — rises

0.074 m up above its initial position, and then

falls back down.)

Given g = 9.8 m/s ^2

. What was the initial

velocity of the bullet?

Answer in units of m/s

A rocket is fired vertically upward. At the

instant it reaches an altitude of 2720 m and a

speed of 296 m/s, it explodes into three equal

fragments. One fragment continues to move

upward with a speed of 250 m/s following the

explosion. The second fragment has a speed

of 476 m/s and is moving east right after the

explosion.

What is the magnitude of the velocity of

the third fragment?

Answer in units of m/s.

    An m = 8 g bullet is fired into a M = 319 g block that is initially at rest at the edge of a frictionless table of height h = 1.1 m. The bullet remains in the block, and after impact the block lands d = 1.7 m from the bottom of the table. Find the initial speed of the bullet. The acceleration due to gravity g is 9.8 m/s ^2 

    landing time t = √ 2h/g = √ 2.2/9.8 = 0.474 sec 

    block speed Vb = d/t = 1.7/0.474 = 3.59 m/sec 

    conservation of momentum shall apply :

    bullet speed V = Vb*(M+m) / m = 3.59*327/8 = 147 m/sec 

    A m = 4.15 g bullet is fired vertically into a M = 1.98 kg block of wood. The bullet gets stuck in the block, and the impact lifts the block h = 0.074 m up. (i.e. the block  M with the bullet m stuck in it  rises 0.074 m up above its initial position, and then falls back down). Given g = 9.8 m/s ^2 , which was the initial velocity V of the bullet? 

    h = 0.074 = Vb^2/2g 

    block initial speed Vb = √ 0.074*19.6 = 1.204 m/sec 

    conservation of momentum shall apply :

    bullet speed V = Vb*(M+m) / m = 1.204*(1984/4.15)  = 576 m/sec 

    A rocket is fired vertically upward. At the instant it reaches an altitude of 2720 m and a speed of 296 m/s, it explodes into three equal fragments. One fragment continues to move upward with a speed of 250 m/s following the explosion. The second fragment has a speed of 476 m/s and is moving east right after the explosion. 

    What is the magnitude V''' of the velocity of the third fragment in m/s. ?

    Suppose a unity mass M worth 1 kg

    M = 1*296 North 

    M' = 1/3*250  North

    M'' = 1/3*476 = 158.7 East 

    M''' = 158.7 West + (296-250/3) North 

    since M = 1, then velocities are numerically equal to the momentums 

    V''' = 158.7 W + 212.7 N
