What was the initial speed of the bullet

Reference no: EM13691910

Question: A bullet with a mass of 0.02 kg collides inelastically with a wooden block with a mass of 2.5kg, initially at rest. After the collision, the bullet block has a speed of 1.2 m/s.

Part I: What was the initial speed of the bullet?

Please show the work for the calculation so I can understand what I'm doing. Thank you!
