A 3.00-g bullet is fired horizontally into a 10.0-kg block of wood suspended by a rope from the ceiling. The bullet becomes embedded in the wood, and, as the result, the block swings up in an arc, like a ballistic pendulum, rising 3.00 mm above its original position. Which of the following is the closest to the initial speed of the bullet? Group of answer choices a. 235 m/s b. 24.3 m/s c. 75.0 m/s d. 811 m/s e. Cannot be determined since the heat generated in the collision is unknown

two blocks (m1 and m2) are each released from rest at a height of h = 3.98 m on a frictionless track and when they meet on the horizontal section of the track they undergo an elastic collision. If m1 = 2.50 kg and m2 = 4.25 kg, determine the maximum heights (in m) to which they rise after the collision. Use the coordinate system shown in the figure.
