A 0.0163-kg bullet is fired horizontally into a 3.56-kg wooden block attached to one end of a massless, horizontal spring (k = 882 N/m).
The other end of the spring is fixed in place, and the spring is unstrained initially. The block rests on a horizontal, frictionless surface.
The bullet strikes the block perpendicularly and quickly comes to a halt within it. As a result of this completely inelastic collision, the
spring is compressed along its axis and causes the block/bullet to oscillate with an amplitude of 0.152 m. What is the speed of the
bullet?
