Multiple Choice

An 8g piece of sticky clay strikes and embeds itself in a 0.992kg block at rest on a frictionless, horizontal surface. The block is attached to a spring with a spring constant of 5N/m. The impact compresses the spring 75.0 cm. What was the initial speed of the clay?

A

210 m/s

B

1.68 m/s

C

187 m/s
