What is the speed of the bullet

Reference no: EM13548220

A 11 g bullet is fired into a 12 kg wood block that is at rest on a wood table. The block, with the bullet imbedded slides 5.0cm across the table. The coefficient of kinetic friction for wood sliding on wood is 0.20. What is the speed of the bullet?
