Momentum — practice question

A ball of mass $0.10\text{ kg}$ moves horizontally with a speed of $600\text{ m s}^{-1}$. It collides with a wooden block of mass $1.9\text{ kg}$ that is initially at rest on a horizontal surface with no friction. The ball remains inside the block. What is the speed of the ball and the block immediately after the impact?

  • A$30\text{ m s}^{-1}$
  • B$32\text{ m s}^{-1}$
  • C$60\text{ m s}^{-1}$
  • D$130\text{ m s}^{-1}$
