A 15 gram bullet is shot vertically into a 2 kg block. As a result, the block lifts upward to a maximum height of 8.0 mm. The bullet comes to rest inside the block 0.0010 seconds after hitting the block. Assume that the mass of the bullet is very small compared to that of the block and that no significant amount of mass is lost from the block. What was the magnitude of the impulse delivered to the block by the bullet?
