Bullet Colliding with Wooden Block

A bullet collides with a block and embeds in the block (completely inelastic collision). The block then slides across the floor.

You can change the parameters of the simulation here:

Initial velocity of bullet = m/s. Mass of bullet = kg. Mass of block = kg. Coefficient of kinetic friction = .
