A bullet with a mass m b = 11.5 g is fired into a block of woodat velocity v b = 265 m/s. The block is attached to a spring thathas a spring constant k of 205 N/m. The block and bullet continueto move, compressing the spring by 35.0 cm before the whole systemmomentarily comes to a stop. Assuming that the surface on which theblock is resting is frictionless, determine the mass of the woodenblock. From left to right, a bullet of mass m subscript b has avelocity of v subscript b with a velocity vector pointing directlyto the right. The vector points toward a block that is attached onits right face to a spring of force constant k. The other end ofthe spring is attached to a fixed, vertical surface. mass of woodenblock: kg
