7. A bullet (100g) is fired at a velocity of 200 m/s and it then collides with a stationary block (1Kg). After the collision, the bullet is embedded in the block and both systems travel together along a frictionless surface to fully compress a spring with a force constant of 20 N/m. a) Find the Final velocity that the bullet and block system will acquire after the collision b) Determine the amount of elastic potential energy that the spring will gain when it is fully compressed c) Find the maximum compression
