A 17.5 g bullet is fired horizontally into a 0.658 kg wooden block resting on a horizontal surface with coefficient of friction 0.385. The bullet goes through the block and comes out with a speed of 265 m/s. If the block travels 4.06 m before coming to rest, what was the initial speed of the bullet? The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s². Answer in units of m/s.
