A wad of sticky clay of mass m is hurled horizontally at a wooden block of mass M initially at rest on a horizontal surface. The clay sticks to the block. After impact, the block slides a distance d before coming to rest. If the coefficient of friction between the block and the surface is μ, what was the speed of the clay immediately before impact? (Use any variable or symbol stated above along with the following as necessary: g.)

    A 98.0 g wooden block is initially at rest on a rough horizontal surface when a 12.2 g bullet is fired horizontally into (but does not go through) it. After the impact, the block–bullet combination slides 6.5 m before coming to rest.
