A 10.0 g bullet moves at a constant speed of 500.0 m/s 

A 10.0 g bullet moves at a constant speed of 500.0 m/s and collides with a 1.50 kg wooden block initially at rest. The surface of the table is frictionless and 70.0 cm above the floor level. After the collision the bullet becomes embedded into the block. The bullet-block system slides off the top of the table and strikes the floor. Find how far the blocks lands from the edge of the table. TT
