Q/ A bullet of mass (m) is fired from a gun horizontally, from a distance toward a block of wood (M), which at an initial velocity equal to one-fifth of the bullet's velocity, the bullet becomes embedded in the block of wood, and causes the block of wood to slide a certain distance before it settles. If the coefficient of sliding friction between the mass and the ground is (uk), (find the initial velocity of the bullet)? .
