A 10 g bullet is fired with 450 m/s into a 10 kg block that sitsat rest on a wooden table 20 cm from the edge of the table. Thebullet gets embedded in the block (perfectly inelastic collision).The block, with the embedded bullet, then slides to the edge of thetable and drops down with some initial velocity while leaving theedge of the table. The coefficient of kinetic friction between theblock and the surface of the table is ïk = 0.2. If the table is 1 mhigh, how far from the point directly below the table’s edge doesthe block land?
