As shown in the figure below, a bullet is fired at and passes through a piece of target paper suspended by a massless string. The bullet has a mass m, a speed v before the collision with the target, and a speed (0.516)v after passing through the target. The collision is inelastic and during the collision, the amount of kinetic energy lost by the bullet and paper is equal to [(0.333)Kb BC] , that is, 0.333 of the kinetic energy of the bullet before the collision. Determine the mass M of the target and the speed V of the target the instant after the collision in terms of the mass m of the bullet and speed v of the bullet before the collision. (Express your answers to at least 3 decimals.) V =____v M = ___m

There is a large crater in Arizona called Meteor Crater. It is estimated that it was formed about 20,000 years ago by a meteorite that had a mass of about 5 x 10^10 kg and was traveling at a speed of 7.5 km/sec. How fast could this meteorite have hit the Earth (whose mass is 6 x 10^24 kg) if we assume a head-on collision?

A ball is thrown at an astronaut in deep space, and strikes the astronaut at vm/s. What is the difference between the amount of momentum the astronaut would acquire from catching the ball, and the amount that he would acquire if he lets it rebound off of him at a velocity of -v?
Two identical blocks of mass M = 2.60 kg each are initially at rest on a smooth, horizontal table. A bullet of very small mass m = 20 g (m << M) is fired at a high speed v. = 120 m/s towards the first block. It quickly exits the first block at a reduced speed of 0.40 v, then strikes the second block, quickly getting embedded inside of it. All the motion happens on the x-axis. (a) find the speeds of the two blocks after their encounters with the bullet. (b) Now the first block catches up with the second one and collides with it. They got stuck together afterward and move forward. Find their common speed V after the collision. (c) The two blocks now hit a light spring of spring constant k = 35 N/m mounted on the wall. How far is the spring compressed before the blocks reach a momentary stop?
