Blocks On Frictionless Table#

Two 506 \(g\) blocks of wood are 1 \(m\) apart on a frictionless table. A 10 \(g\) bullet is fired at 439 \(\frac{m}{s}\) 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 afterwards is 6 \(\frac{m}{s}\).

Question Text#
