Agent Arlene devised the following method of measuring themuzzle velocity of a rifle. She fires a bullet into a 4.500-kgwooden block resting on a smooth surface, and attached to a springof spring constant k = 139.0 N/m. The bullet, whose mass is 7.700kg, remains embedded in the wooden block. She measures the maximumdistance that the block compresses the spring to be 9.460 cm. Ineed to find the velocity of the bullet when it strikes theblock???
