In your job in a police lab, you must design an apparatus to measure the muzzle velocities
of bullets fired from handguns. Your solution is to attach a 2.00 kg wood block that rests
on a horizontal surface to a light horizontal spring. The other end of the spring is attached
to a wall. Initially the spring is at its equilibrium length. A bullet is fired horizontally into the
block and remains embedded in it. After the bullet strikes the block, the block compresses
the spring a maximum distance d. You have measured that the coefficient of kinetic friction
between the block and the horizontal surface is 0.38. The table below lists some firearms
that you will test. A grain is a unit of mass equal to 64.80 mg.
