A bullet of mass m=0.0010 kg embeds itself in a wooden block with mass M=0.999kg, which then compresses a spring (k=140N/m) by a distance x=0.050m before coming to rest. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and table is μ=0.50. What is initial velocity(assumed horizontal) of the bullet?
