Question
**Problem Statement:**

A projectile of mass \( m = 0.2 \, \text{kg} \) and initial speed \( v_i = 200 \, \text{m/s} \) hits a stationary target of mass \( M = 2 \, \text{kg} \) and gets embedded in it. The energy lost (\( \Delta E \)) during this collision is closest to:

**Options:**

(a) \( \Delta E = 0 \, \text{J (no energy is lost)} \)  
(b) \( \Delta E = -3640 \, \text{J} \)  
(c) \( \Delta E = -3670 \, \text{J} \)  
(d) \( \Delta E = -4000 \, \text{J} \)
