Question: 4 ) A ( 5 . 0 0 - mathrm { g } ) bullet moving with an initial speed of

4) A \(5.00-\mathrm{g}\) bullet moving with an initial speed of \(400\mathrm{~m}/\mathrm{s}\) is fired into and passes through a \(1.00-\mathrm{kg}\) block, as shown in the Figure. The block, initially at rest on a frictionless, horizontal surface, is connected to a spring of force constant \(900\mathrm{~N}/\mathrm{m}\). If the block moves 5.00 cm to the right after impact, find
(a) the speed at which the bullet emerges from the block
(b) the energy lost in the collision.
Assume for an approximation that the block very quickly reaches its maximum velocity (Vi), keeps the same mass, and the bullet kept going with a constant velocity, \( v \).
4 ) A \ ( 5 . 0 0 - \ mathrm { g } \ ) bullet
