A 1.35-kg block of wood sits at the edge of a table, 0.782 m above the floor.
A 0.0105-kg bullet moving horizontally with a speed of 715 m/s embeds
itself within the block. (a) What horizontal distance does the block cover
before hitting the ground? (b) what are the horizontal and vertical
components of its velocity when it hits the ground? (c) What is the
magnitude of the velocity vector and direction at this time? (d) Draw the
velocity vectors,  and the resultant velocity vector at this time.
