Hey guys so the question is from TBR Physics chapter 4 passage 1 number 4.
A bullet is fired into a block of wood. Which graph best represents the relationship between the bullet mass and the final speed of the block?
I narrowed it down to two options that look like the graphs from the links I posted:

https://www.google.com/search?q=lim...ww.mathman.biz%2Fhtml%2Fpatgraph.html;315;227
(In the passage both graphs start at (0,0) but the shapes are the same & Y axis is final speed and x axis is bullet mass)
How do you choose between these two graphs?? I understand that as bullet mass increases the final speed of the block increases but how do you pick the right graph? I eventually found the answer by finding Vf for progressively higher masses but is there a faster way to do this? I am pretty bad at graph interpretation so is there a way to improve?
