A 11.2 g copper bullet is shot into a wooden block of mass 8 kg. After the collision, is stuck in the wooden block. The speed of the bullet-plus-wooden block combinat immediately after the collision is 2.3151 m/s in the positive x-direction. What was the original speed (in m/s) of the bullet? Do Not enter any units, enter the magnitude of the quantity. Do Not enter any sign answer is positive, however, you MUST preface your response with a negative sign answer is negative.

Question
A 11.2 g copper bullet is shot into a wooden block of mass 8 kg. After the collision, the bullet
is stuck in the wooden block. The speed of the bullet-plus-wooden block combination
immediately after the collision is 2.3151 m/s in the positive x-direction.
What was the original speed (in m/s) of the bullet?
Do Not enter any units, enter the magnitude of the quantity. Do Not enter any sign if your
answer is positive, however, you MUST preface your response with a negative sign (-) if your
answer is negative.
