126 (2001) MATHEMATICA BOHEMICA No. 1‚ 237–246 BLOCK DIAGONALIZATION J. J. Koliha‚ Melbourne (Received June 15‚ 1999) Abstract. We study block diagonalization of matrices induced by resolutions of the unit matrix into the sum of idempotent matrices. We show that the block diagonal matrices have disjoint spectra if and only if each idempotent matrix in the inducing resolution double commutes with the given matrix. Applications include a new characterization of an eigenprojection

horizontally into a 96 g wooden block initially at rest on a horizontal surface. After impact‚ the block slides 7.5 m before coming to rest. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between block and surface is 0.60‚ what was the speed of the bullet immediately before impact? You have to use the conservation of the total energy of the system to do this problem: Initially‚ you have‚ in the total of your system‚ a bullet that is moving at a certain speed and a block that is stationary: Initial
