A 10 g bullet is shot horizontally into a wooden block of mass 1kg. Just after the impact the bullet gets embedded in the block and the block (with the embedded bullet) displaced on a rough horizontal table (µ=0.2) through 1m. Calculate the velocity of the bullet just before the impact, considering the concepts of conservation of momentum and energy

A 10 g bullet is shot horizontally into a wooden block of mass 1kg. Just after the impact the bullet gets embedded in the block and the block (with the embedded bullet) displaced on a rough horizontal table (µ=0.2) through 1m. Calculate the velocity of the bullet just before the impact, considering the concepts of conservation of momentum and energy
Expert Solution
Step 1: Given data

Mass of bullet is m equals 10 space straight g

Mass of block is M equals 1 space kg

Coefficient of friction is mu equals 0.2

Just after the impact the bullet gets embedded in the block. 

Distance is d equals 1 space straight m

Note:

1 space kg equals 1000 space straight g

Find:

Initial velocity the bullet just before the impact.
