Question

A 33.0 kg block at rest on a horizontal frictionless table is connected to the wall via a spring with a spring constant k= 25.0 N/m. A 0.028 kg bullet travelling with a speed of 540.0 m/s embeds itself in the block. What is the amplitude of the resulting simple harmonic motion? Recall that the amplitude is the maximum displacement from equilibrium. (in m)

A: 5.66×10-2

B: 8.21×10-2

C: 1.19×10-1

D: 1.73×10-1

E: 2.50×10-1

F: 3.63×10-1

G: 5.26×10-1

H: 7.63×10-1

I got 0.3721m but it’s not one of the options?
