To measure the muzzle velocity of a gun a 10 g bullet is shot and embeds itself into a 4 kg block. The block is connected to a spring on a frictionless horizontal surface and the spring compresses 4.1 cm during the event. If the force constant of the spring is 2300 N/m, what was the velocity of the bullet when it entered the block? мий ox To measure the muzzle velocity of a gun a 10 g bullet is shot and embeds itself into a 4 kg block.
