Calculate the original speed of the bullet

Reference no: EM13541476

A 10.2-g bullet is fired into a stationary block of wood having mass m = 4.92 kg. The bullet imbeds into the block. The speed of the bullet-plus-wood combination immediately after the collision is 0.606 m/s. What was the original speed of the bullet? (Express your answer with four significant figures.)
