A 11-g bullet traveling at 208 m/s is fired into a 0.422 kg wooden block anchored to a 100N/m spring. If the speed of the bullet is not known but it is observed that the spring is compressed 53.1 cm, what was the speed of the bullet to the nearest m/s?
Can someone help me out on where to get started? It's confusing how the question tells you the speed of the bullet but then says the speed isn't known.
