A bullet of mass 0.5 kg is moving horizontally with a speed of 50 m/s when it hits a block of mass 3 kg that is at rest on a horizontal surface with a coefficient of friction of 0.2.
After the collision the bullet becomes embedded in the block.

B) Find the total energy of the bullet-block system before the collision?
C) What is the speed of the bullet-block system after the collision?
D) *Find the total energy of the bullet-block system after the collision?
E) *How much work must be done to stop the bullet-block system?
F) *Find the maximum traveled distance of the bullet-block after the collision?
