A 12.0-g bullet is fired horizontally into a 112-g wooden block that is initially at rest on a frictionless horizontal surface and connected to a spring having spring constant 149 N/m. The bullet becomes embedded in the block. If the bullet-block system compresses the spring by a maximum of 83.5 cm, what was the speed of the bullet at impact with the block

The speed would be in a decimal? Or do you want it in a fraction?
