A rifle bullet with a mass of 10 g and moving with the speed of 300 m/s strikes and embeds itself in a block with a mass of 990 g that rests on a frictionless, horizontal surface and is attached to a coil spring. If the force constant of the spring is 300 N/m, a) calculate the common final velocity 3.0 of block and bullet after the collision (in m/s). Enter the number up to ONE decimal place b) what is the maximum compression 0.0017 (in meters) of the spring? Enter the number up to THREE decimal places
