m1(mass of bullet) = 20 g= 0.02kg
m2(mass of wooden block)=980 g= 0.98 kg
u1= 200 m/s (Initial velocity of the bullet)
u2= 0 m/s (Initial velocity of the block of wood)
After the collision, the block as well as the bullet move witha common welocity. Let this velocity be v.
By Law of Conservation of Momentum
m1u1 + m2u2 = m1v + m2v
= 0.02*200 + 0*0.98 = v(m1+m2)
= 4 = v(0.98 + 0.02)
= 4 = v
Therefore the velocity with which both the wooden block and the bullet move is 4 m/s.

Answer: 4m/sec
Explanation:m1(mass of bullet) = 20 g= 0.02kg
m2(mass of wooden block)=980 g= 0.98 kg
u1= 200 m/s (Initial velocity of the bullet)
u2= 0 m/s (Initial velocity of the block of wood)
After the collision, the block as well as the bullet move witha common welocity. Let this velocity be v.

= 0.02*200 + 0*0.98 = v(m1+m2)
= 4 = v(0.98 + 0.02)
= 4 = v
Therefore the velocity with which both the wooden block and the bullet move is 4m/sec
