A block of mass M = 6.20 kg, at rest on a horizontal frictionless table, is attached to a rigid support by a spring of constant k = 6170 N/m. A bullet of mass m = 8.30 g and velocity v→ of magnitude 610 m/s strikes and is embedded in the block (the figure). Assuming the compression of the spring is negligible until the bullet is embedded, determine (a) the speed of the block immediately after the collision and (b) the amplitude of the resulting simple harmonic motion.

Definition Definition Special type of oscillation where the force of restoration is directly proportional to the displacement of the object from its mean or initial position. If an object is in motion such that the acceleration of the object is directly proportional to its displacement (which helps the moving object return to its resting position) then the object is said to undergo a simple harmonic motion. An object undergoing SHM always moves like a wave.
