A 2.0-kg pistol fires a 1.0-g bullet with a muzzle speed of 1000 m/s. The bullet then strikes a 10-kg wooden block resting on a horizontal frictionless surface. The block and the embedded bullet then slide across the surface.

What is the speed of the "bullet + block" system immediately after the bullet is embedded in the block?

A

0.1 m/s

B

1000 m/s

C

10 m/s

D

10000 m/s
