A bullet of mass M1 is fired towards a block of mass m2 initially at rest at the edge of a frictionless table of height h as in the figure. The initial speed of the bullet is vi . Consider two cases, a completely inelastic one and an elastic one, where the bullet bounces off the block.

Asailboat is traveling to the right when a gust of wind causes the boat to accelerate leftward at 2.5m/s2 for 4s. after the wind stops, the sailboat is traveling to the left with a velocity of 3.0m/s. assuming the acceleration from the wind is constant, what was the initial velocity of the sailboat before the gust of wind? answer using a coordinate system where rightward is positive.
