A 5.00-g bullet moving with an initial speed of i = 400 m/s is fired into and passes through a 1.00-kg block as shown in Figure P9.89. The block, initially at rest on a frictionless, horizontal surface, is connected to a spring with force constant 900 N/m. The block moves d = 5.00 cm to the right after impact before being brought to rest by the spring. Find (a) the speed at which the bullet emerges from the block and (b) the amount of initial kinetic energy of the bullet that is converted into internal energy in the bullet-block system during the collision.

A block of mass ?=5.4kgm=5.4kg slides on a rough surface and moves toward a spring with a spring constant ?=1474N/mk=1474N/m, as shown in the figure below. When the block is ?=21.4md=21.4m away from the spring, it has a velocity of ?=15.9m/sv=15.9m/s. When the block momentarily stops, it has compressed the spring by ?=29cmx=29cm.
