A BB gun is fired at a cardboard box of mass m2 = 0.85 kg on a frictionless surface. The BB has a mass of m1 = 0.0105 kg and travels at a velocity of v1 = 76 m/s. It is observed that the box is moving at a velocity of v2 = 0.16 m/s after the BB passes through it. 1)What is the BB's final velocity vf, in meters per second?
