Question
A bullet with a mass m, = 11.5 g is fired into a block of
wood at velocity v, = 245 m/s. The block is attached to a
spring that has a spring constant k of 205 N/m. The block
and bullet 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.

Bryce, a mouse lover, keeps his four pet mice in a roomy cage, where they spend much of their spare time, when they're not
sleeping or eating, joyfully scampering about on the cage's floor. Bryce tracks his mice's health diligently and just now
recorded their masses as 0.0137 kg, 0.0245 kg, 0.0155 kg, and 0.0213 kg. At this very instant, the x- and y-components of the
mice's velocities are, respectively, (0.769 m/s, -0.393 m/s), (-0.919 m/s, -0.889 m/s), (0.797 m/s, 0.219 m/s), and
(-0.793 m/s, 0.317 m/s). Calculate the x- and y-components of Bryce's mice's total momentum, p, and py.
