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.
