Find the velocity of the block after being hit by the bullet

Reference no: EM13551663

A bullet of mass 240 g is fired horizontally from a gun with a velocity of 800 m/s into a wooden block of mass 5.0 kg sitting on a horizontal table. If the bullet embeds itself into the block, find the velocity of the block after being hit by the bullet.
