A bullet of mass m is fired into a block of mass M initially at rest at the edge of a frictionless table of height h (figure). The bullet remains in the block, and after impact the block lands a distance d from the bottom of the table.
(a) Determine the initial speed of the bullet. (Use any variable or symbol stated above along with the following as necessary: g.)
(b) Determine the initial speed of the bullet for the case where m = 8.00 g, M = 280 g, h = 1.00 m and d = 1.90 m
