A bullet with a mass of 0.040 kg collides inelastically with a wooden block of mass 1.5 kg, initially at rest. After the collision, the bullet along with the block has a speed of 1.0 m/s. Calculate the initial speed of the bullet.

Amachinist turns the power on to a grinding wheel, at rest, at time t = 0 s. the wheel accelerates uniformly for 10 s and reaches the operating angular velocity of 96 rad/s. the wheel is run at that angular velocity for 40 s and then power is shut off. the wheel slows down uniformly at 1.5 rad/s2 until the wheel stops. in this situation, the time interval of deceleration is closest to:
