Calculate what is the initial speed of the bullet

Reference no: EM13530885

A rifle bullet with a mass of 5.00g strikes and embeds itself in a block with a mass of 1.995kg that rests on a frictionless horizontal surface and is attached to a coil spring. The impact compresses the spring 25.0 cm. Calibration of the spring shows that a force of 9.00N is required to compress the spring 0.500m. What is the initial speed of the bullet?
