The ballistic pendulum is a system used to measure the speed of a fast-moving projectile, such as a bullet. The bullet is fired into a large block of wood suspended from some light wires. The bullet embeds in the block, and the entire system swings through a height h. The collision is perfectly inelastic and momentum is conserved. Suppose that h=5.00 cm, mbullet=5.00g, and mblock=1.00 kg, find a) the initial speed of the bullet and b) the loss in mechanical energy due to the collision
