An m₁ = 7.65g bullet is fired into a m₂ = 2.22kg block that is initially at rest at the edge of a frictionless table of height h = 1.05m, as seen in the figure below. The bullet remains in the block, and after impact the block lands d = 2.08m from the bottom of the table. Calculate the initial speed of the bullet.
