A block of mass 
is at rest at the edge of a table, of height 1m. A bullet of mass 
collides with the block and sticks to it. If the velocity of the bullet is 
in the horizontal direction just before the collision then the kinetic energy just before the combined system strikes the floor, is [Take 
. Assume there is no rotational motion and loss of energy after the collision is negligable.]
