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.

You want to move a heavy box with mass 30.0 kg across a carpeted floor. you pull hard on one of the edges of the box at an angle 30∘ above the horizontal with a force of magnitude 240 n, causing the box to move horizontally. the force of friction between the moving box and the floor has magnitude 41.5 n . what is the box's acceleration just after it begins to move
