A bullet with a mass m, = 12.7 g is fired into a block of wood at velocity Ub = 253 m/s. The block is attached to a spring that has a spring constant k of 205 N/m. The block and bullet m continue to move, compressing the spring by 35.0 cm before the whole system momentarily comes to a stop. Assuming that the surface on which the block is resting is frictionless, determine the mass mw of the wooden block. mw = kg
