Friction is negligible
A bullet traveling at speed v hits a wooden block which is attached to a spring with constant 200 N/m. After the impact if the spring compresses to a maximum of 0.1m and the mass of the bullet is 0.01kg and the mass of the block is 0.5kg find the initial speed of the bullet?
This was on my test today and I didn't get the answer, how would you go about doing this question?
