1. A lump of clay (m1 = 0.2 kg) moving horizontally with a speed v01 = 16 m/s strikes and sticks to a wood block (m2 = 3 kg) which is initially at rest on the edge of a horizontal table of height h = 1.5m. There is no friction between the table and the block. (a) Find the horizontal distance, x, from the edge of the table at which the clay and block strike the floor. (b) Find the total momentum of the clay and block just before they strike the floor.
