Bullet of mass 105 grams, hits the stationary block of mass 15,190g (originally frictionless surface) and embeds in it. The block then enters a rough surface (coefficient of friction= 0.30) by a distance of 9.0 meters, before coming to stop. Find the speed of the bullet when it hits the block. Use g = 9.8 m/s2 and state your answer in m/s to the nearest tenth of m/s.
