A student is trying to determine the muzzle velocity (initial) of a bullet that is to0 fast to measure directly. The student fires the 0.04kg bullet into a 5.5kg block of wood initially at rest. After the collision, the block, with the bullet embedded inside moves to the right with a speed of 1.73m/s right. before collision: Pbullet unit v Pblock unit v %3D after collision: Pcombined = unit v How fast was the bullet fired? unit
