A pellet gun is fired at a stationary cardboard box ofmass m2 = 0.65 kg on africtionless surface. The pellet has a massof m1 = 0.0195 kg and movesat a velocityof v1 = 96 m/s. It isobserved that the box is moving at a velocityof v2 = 0.21 m/s after thepellet goes through it.
1. Write an expression for the magnitude of the pellet'svelocity as it exits the box vf.
2.What is the pellet's finalvelocity vf, in meters persecond?
3.If the pellet doesn't exit the box, what will the velocity ofthe box v'2, be in meters persecond?
