A bullet with mass 19 grams and velocity 115 m/s collideswitha wooden block of mass 2.0 kg. The wooden block is initiallyatrest, and is connected to a spring with k = 670 N/m.Theother end of the spring is attached to an immovable wall. Whatisthe maximum compression of the spring? Note: You may assumethatthe spring is massless and that the collision between thebulletand the wooden block is completely inelastic.
