Problem

A 0.020 kg0.020\,\text{kg} bullet traveling 300 m/s300\,\text{m/s} horizontally embeds in a 2.0 kg2.0\,\text{kg} cart that is initially at rest on a horizontal track. Immediately after the collision, the cart slides onto a 0.50 m0.50\,\text{m}-long rough section and comes to rest at the end of that section. Assuming the coefficient of kinetic friction μk\mu_k is constant on the rough section and negligible elsewhere, which value is closest to μk\mu_k? a) 0.600.60 b) 0.180.18 c) 0.900.90 d) 0.450.45
