What is the magnitude of velocity v of the second object after the collision?

  1. 3.6 m/s
  2. 3.2 m/s
  3. 4.8 m/s
  4. 6.0 m/s

Correct Answer: C

2) A 50 g bullet hits a 20 kg metal plate at 300 to its surface as shown in the figure. The initial velocity of the bullet is 400 m/s. As a result, the metal plate moves back at 20 cm/s. If the collision lasts for 0.01 s, what is the magnitude of force exerted by thje bullet on the metal plate? Take cos 300 = 0.86, sin 300 = 0.5.
