Two 460 g blocks of wood are 2.0 m apart on a frictionless table. A 9.0 g bullet is fired at 420 m/s toward the blocks. It passes all the way through the first block, then embeds itself in the second block. The speed of the first block immediately afterward is 5.2 m/s .
What is the speed of the second block after the bullet stops?
