$A$ mass $m$ moves with a velocity $v$ and collides inelastically with another identical mass at rest. After the collision,the $1^{st}$ mass moves with velocity $\frac{v}{\sqrt{3}}$ in a direction perpendicular to the initial direction of motion. Find the speed of the $2^{nd}$ mass after the collision.

  • A
    $\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}v$
  • B
    $\frac{v}{\sqrt{3}}$
  • C
    $v$
  • D
    $\sqrt{3}v$

$A$ ball hits the floor and rebounds after an inelastic collision. In this case:

$A$ bullet of mass $0.01\, kg$ travelling at a speed of $500\, m/s$ strikes and passes horizontally through a block of mass $2\, kg$ which is suspended by a string of length $5\, m$. The centre of gravity of the block is found to rise a vertical distance of $0.1\, m$. What is the speed of the bullet after it emerges from the block?
