Momentum Conservation: Bullet enters a block
I can understand that using conservation of momentum, we can find v. But we need V for that. The equation for V involves h and so we need h. But I am not able to comprehend the equation involving l,h and a. The question doesn't specify what a is. Please be kind to help- Shreya

Am I right in thinking the 680J thing is a red herring?
