Question

A 22-g bullet traveling 285 m/s penetrates a 2.0 kg block of wood and emerges going 145 m/s. Part A If the block is stationary on a frictionless surface when hit, how fast does it move after the bullet emerges? Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.
