A 0.0010-kg pellet is fired at a speed of 50.0m/s at a motionless 0.35-kg piece of balsa wood. When the

pellet hits the wood, it sticks in the wood and they slide off together. With what speed do they slide?

    P = m*v

    conservation of momentum suggests

    initial momentum equals final momentum

    mv-initial = mv-final

    (0.0010 kg) (50 m/s) = (0.0010 kg + 0.35 kg) v

    thus:

    v = (0.0010) (50) / (0.351) = 0.142 m/s
