Problem

A 0.2 kg0.2\,\text{kg} mass is attached to a horizontal spring (k=20 N/mk = 20\,\text{N/m}) on a frictionless table. A bullet of mass 0.05 kg0.05\,\text{kg} moving horizontally at 10 m/s10\,\text{m/s} embeds itself into the stationary mass. Find the amplitude of the resulting simple harmonic motion.
