This is an interactive homework problem for introductory physics students involving conservation of momentum. A bullet of known mass penetrates a stationary soda can, emerging with a given speed. The student must determine how fast the can is moving after the bullet emerges. The problem is accompanied by a Socratic "help" sequence designed to encourage critical thinking as users do a guided conceptual analysis before attempting the mathematics.
This item is part of a large collection of similar interactive problems for introductory physics.
