a) What were the initial velocities of the bullet and block of wood? This problem should be solved using the "recipe" taught in class. The "recipe" has six steps. To be graded correct, you must clearly show all six steps! Since this problem is in 2D, write step 4 using vector notation.

Q3) Center of mass and momentum
A 0.01 kg bullet is shot at a 1.00 kg block of wood. The block of wood is on a horizontal frictionless
surface.
As viewed from above, the bullet has an initial velocity v₁ in the positive x-direction. The block of
wood has an initial velocity v₂ in the positive y-direction.
The bullet gets stuck in the block of wood when it hits.
After the collision, the block and bullet together are observed
to move as shown in the diagram:
O
30°
