- A 0.20-kg mass is attached to a string and then released from rest, swinging in an arc as a pendulum. At the bottom of it swing, where it is 0.80 m above the floor, the string is cut and the mass becomes a projectile. It stricks the floor 0.56 meters (horizontally) from the point it was cut.

A steel ball of mass 0.500 kg is fastened to a cord that is 70.0 cm long and fixed at the far end. The ball is then released when the cord is horizontal (see figure below). At the bottom of its path, the ball strikes a 2.50 kg steel block initially at rest on a frictionless surface. The collision is elastic. a) Find speed of the ball just before impact. b) Find the speed of the block just after impact.
