100%

A bullet of mass 9 g moving with an initial
speed 300 m/s is fired into and passes through
a block of mass 3 kg, as shown in the figure.
The block, initially at rest on a frictionless,
horizontal surface, is connected to a spring of
force constant 976 N/m.

a) If the block moves a distance 3.6 cm to the
right after the bullet passed through it, find
the speed v at which the bullet emerges from
the block.
Answer in units of m/s.

b) Find the magnitude of the energy lost in the
collision.
Answer in units of J.

I'm lost on how to answer the a-section of this question and wasn't able to reach the b-section.
