A 1.50 kg wooden block is hanging motionless from a 2.00 m massless string. A 125 g arrow is
shot at 55.0 m/s at the block and sticks into it, causing the block to swing.
- What is the maximum height the block/arrow system will swing with respect to the
original position of the block? (0.912 m)
- What would be different about this situation if the arrow passed through the block, but
slowed down in the process? Explain in terms of momentum and energy
