At a forensic science lab class a student tries to measure the speed of a bullet of mass m, - 0.040 kg fired from a gun suspected to have been used for a murder. She fires the gun toward a clay target of mass m - 2.0 kg suspended by a string. After the bullet is fired, it is stuck in the clay target. Then the target reaches at the maximum height h-0.30 m. Find the initial speed of the bullet in m's. Ignore the mass of the string and any frictions. V

A physics student hurls a 315-gram ball directly into a 3.54-kg box which is at rest on a table top. The baseball strikes the box with a pre-impact speed of 54.1 m/s. The box is filled with towels to help absorb the blow and effectively catch the ball. The coefficient of friction between the box and the table is 0.714. Determine the distance which the ball and box slide across the table after the collision.
In the game of pool, the cue ball and 8-ball both have a mass of 0.5kg, and are on a frictionless pool table surface. A pool player hits the cue ball, giving it a velocity of 5m/s. The cue ball hits the 8-ball, and the cue ball stops during the collision. Find the velocity of 8-ball after the collision. m/s

The car's velocity just before the collision was < 39, 0, 0> m/s, and the truck's velocity just before the collision was < -17, 0, 15> m/s.(a) What is the velocity of the stuck-together car and truck just after the collision?
A 2,800 kg truck jumps the median and clobbers a 940 kg station wagon in a head-on collision. You are tasked with determining the truck's initial speed for insurance purposes. An observer states that the station wagon was traveling at a speed of 25.1 m/s and that after the collision, the two vehicles stuck together and were moving at a speed of 24.4 m/s in the direction the truck was originally moving. What was the truck's original speed?
