Two rubber bullets (each of the same mass) are fired at the same velocity towards two different blocks of equal mass. One block is made of clay and the bullet gets stuck in it, the clay block bullet begins to move in the direction the bullet was fired. The other block is made of aluminum and the bullet bounces off the block, the aluminum block also begins to move in the direction the bullet was fired. Which block (clay or aluminum) will move with greater velocity after being struck by the bullet

The great sandini is a 60.0-kg circus performer who is shot from a cannon (actually a spring gun). you don’t find many men of his caliber, so you him design a new gun. this new gun has a very large spring with a very small mass and a force constant of 1100 n/m that he will compress with a force of 4400 n. the inside of the gun barrel is coated with teflon, so the average friction force will be only 40.0 n during the 4.00 m he moves in the barrel. at what speed will he emerge from the end of the barrel, 2.50 m above his initial rest position?
