A 0.0230 kg bullet moving horizontally at 450 m/s embeds itself into an initially stationary 0.500 kg block.   (a) What is their velocity (in m/s) just after the collision? _____ m/s   (b) The bullet-embedded block slides 8.0 m on a horizontal surface with a 0.30 kinetic coefficient of friction. Now what is its velocity (in m/s)? _____ m/s   (c) The bullet-embedded block now strikes and sticks to a stationary 2.00 kg block. How far (in m) does this combination travel before stopping? _____ m
