Find the initial velocity of the bullet before impact

Reference no: EM13553980

A block of wood (Mblock = 5.2 kg) rests on a horizontal surface for which the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.32. A bullet (mbullet = 37 g) is shot along the horizontal direction and embeds in the block, displacing the block 92 cm. What was the initial velocity of the bullet before impact?
