Physics

A 5.00-kg bullet moving withan initial speed of Vi= 400 m/s is fired into and passesthrough a 1.00-kg block as shown in the Figure. The block,initially at rest on a frictionless, horizontal surface, isconnected to a spring with force constant 1000 N/m. The block movesd = 5.00 cm to the right after impact before being brought to restby the spring. Find:

The speed at which the bullet emerges from theblock.

The kinetic energy lost (the amount of intial kineticenergy of the bullet that is converted into internal energy, i.e.heat, in the bullet-block system) during the collison.
