A 16.2-g bullet with an initial speed of 850 m/s embeds itself in a 40.0-kg block, which is attached to a horizontal spring with a force constant of 1000 N/m. What is the maximum compression of the spring

Ithink it is letter b, i may be wrong but i think that is the answer

Answerthe energy required is 1.60 × 10⁻¹⁸ j, to three significant figures.explanationwe define electric potential as the ratio electric potential energy to the charge,    then the following gives us the potential difference,      the formula  may be on your formula sheet.the change in electric potential energy would be the energy that would needed to move it from point a to point b. solving for that, we get    using q = 8.00  × 10⁻¹⁹ c and  δv = 2.00 v, we get    the energy required is 1.60 × 10⁻¹⁸ j, to three significant figures.
