A student is trying to determine the muzzle velocity (initial) of a bullet that is too fast to measure directly. The student fires the 0.06kg 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 1.64m/s right. before collision: Pbullet kg m/s v Pblock kg m/s v after collision: Pcombined kg m/s v How fast was the bullet fired? m/s
