A bullet with a mass of 0.040 kg collides inelastically with a wooden block of mass 1.5 kg, initially at rest. After the collision, the bullet along with the block has a speed of 1.0 m/s. Calculate the initial speed of the bullet.

The experiment done in lab is repeated, using a ball that has unknown mass m. you plot your data in the form of f 2 versus m/l, with f in rev/s, m in kg, and l in m. your data falls close to a straight line that has slope 3.19 m/(kg · s2). use g = 9.80 m/s2 and calculate the mass m of the ball.
