Explanation / Answer

Using Force balance

Ff = u*(M+m)*g

Using energy conservation:

KEi + PEi + Wf = KEf + PEf

PEi = PEf = 0

KEi = 0.5*(M+m)*V^2

KEf = 0

Wf = -Ff*x = -u*(M+m)*g*x

0.5*(M+m)*V^2 = u*(M+m)*g*x

V = sqrt (2*u*g*x)

V = sqrt (2*9.81*9.9*0.25) = 6.97 m/sec

Now using momentum conservation

Pi = Pf

m*v1 + M*v2 = (M+m)*V

v1 = speed of bullet initially

v2 = 0 = speed of wood initially

v1 = (M+m)*V/m

v1 = (0.025 + 1.3)*6.97/0.025 = 369.41 m/sec
