PE = 0.5 × k × x²
PE potential Energy
k spring constant
x stretch/compression of the spring
0.120L + 2.345L = 2.465L = 4 significant figures in the answer
Answer:
1-state what the lab is about, that is, what scientific concept (theory, principle, procedure, etc.) you are supposed to be learning about by doing the lab. You should do this briefly, in a sentence or two. If you are having trouble writing the opening sentence of the report, you can try something like: "This laboratory experiment focuses on X…"; "This lab is designed to help students learn about, observe, or investigate, X…." Or begin with a definition of the scientific concept: "X is a theory that…."
2-give the necessary background for the scientific concept by telling what you know about it (the main references you can use are the lab manual, the textbook, lecture notes, and other sources recommended by the lab manual or lab instructor; in more advanced labs you may also be expected to cite the findings of previous scientific studies related to the lab). In relatively simple labs you can do this in a paragraph following the initial statement of the learning context. But in more complex labs, the background may require more paragraphs.

:)
Momentum is conserved if and only if sum of all forces which are exserted on system equals zero. In our situation there are only internal forces, so by Newton's third law their vector sum is 0.
So 
.
Kinetic energy of system at first: 
. After: 
. The secret is that other energy is in work of deformation forces (they in turn heat a bullet and a block).
Answer is A)
