A bullet with a mass 𝑚b=12.7 g is fired into a blockof wood at velocity 𝑣b=253 m/s. The block isattached to a spring that has a springconstant 𝑘 of 205 N/m. The block andbullet continue to move, compressing the springby 35.0 cm before the whole system momentarily comesto a stop. Assuming that the surface on which the block is restingis frictionless, determine the mass 𝑚w of thewooden block.
