A 5 kg box is sitting on a table; the coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the table is 0.6. Two people throw things at it: a lump of clay and a rubber ball. Both objects have a mass of 500 g and strike the box at a speed of 4 m/s. The lump of clay collides inelastically (sticking to the box), while the ball bounces back at a speed of 2 m/s. (a) Without doing any mathematics, which object will knock the box further? (b) Calculate how far each object knocks the box.

A 4.3 kg box slides on a horizontal frictionless table and collides with a 2.7 kg box initially at rest on the edge of the table, at height h = 0.5 m. The speed of the 4.3 kg box is 2.7 m/s just before the collision. If the two boxes stick together because of packing tape on their sides, what is their kinetic energy just before they strike the floor? (Your result must be in Joules and include 1 digit...
