Determining speed of block after bullet stops


Assignment:

Question 1. Two ice skaters, with masses of 50.0 kg and 75.0 kg, are at the center of a 40.0 m diameter circular rink. The skaters push off against each other and glide to opposite edges of the rink.

a.) If the heavier skater reaches the edge in 10.0 s , how long does the lighter skater take to reach the edge?

Question 2. A 20 g ball of clay traveling east at 2.0m/s collides with a 30 g ball of clay traveling 30  south of west at 1.0m/s .

a.)What are the speed of the resulting 50 g blob of clay?

Question 3. Two 500 g blocks of wood are 2.0 m apart on a frictionless table. A 10 g bullet is fired at 400m/s toward the blocks. It passes all the way through the first block, then embeds itself in the second block. The speed of the first block immediately afterward is 6.0 m/s .

a.) What is the speed of the second block after the bullet stops?
