Math Problem Statement

A bullet is shot at the center of a block resting at the edge of a frictionless table. The bullet has a velocity of [value obscured] and hits the block. The block then slides off the table and eventually hits the ground [details obscured]. What is the [value obscured] of the collision? How long after [details obscured] does it take for [details obscured]? How far did [object obscured] travel from [point obscured] when it hit the ground?

Solution

To solve this problem, I need the values that are obscured in the text. Specifically:

  1. The mass of the bullet.
  2. The mass of the block.
  3. The velocity of the bullet.
  4. The height of the table (if relevant).
  5. Any other given variables like gravitational acceleration or distances.

Please provide these values or clarify if the problem is theoretical with placeholder variables so I can help you step through it.
