Someone fires a 0.04 kg bullet at a block of wood that has a mass of 0.5 kg. Block of wood is sitting on a friction less surface so it moves freely when the bullet hits it. The wood block is initially at rest. The bullet is traveling 300 m/s when it hits the wood block and sticks inside it. Now the bullet and the wood block move together as one object. How fast are they traveling?
