A gun is fired vertically into a m = 1.46 block of wood at rest on a thin horizontal sheet directly above it , as shown in the figure at “click here” . If the bullet has a mass of 21.0 g and a speed of v = 3210 m/s , how high will the block rise into the air after the bullet becomes embedded in it ?
