Question 1:
Step1: Use elastic - collision formulas
For an elastic collision, conservation of momentum \(m_1u_1 + m_2u_2=m_1v_1 + m_2v_2\) and conservation of kinetic energy \(\frac{1}{2}m_1u_1^2+\frac{1}{2}m_2u_2^2=\frac{1}{2}m_1v_1^2+\frac{1}{2}m_2v_2^2\). Here \(m_1 = 1\ kg\), \(u_2 = 0\), \(v_1=\frac{1}{5}u_1\).
From conservation of momentum: \(m_1u_1=m_1v_1 + m_2v_2\), so \(u_1=\frac{1}{5}u_1 + m_2v_2\), then \(m_2v_2=\frac{4}{5}u_1\).
From conservation of kinetic energy: \(\frac{1}{2}m_1u_1^2=\frac{1}{2}m_1v_1^2+\frac{1}{2}m_2v_2^2\). Substitute \(v_1 = \frac{1}{5}u_1\) into it: \(\frac{1}{2}m_1u_1^2=\frac{1}{2}m_1(\frac{1}{5}u_1)^2+\frac{1}{2}m_2v_2^2\).
\(\frac{1}{2}m_1u_1^2-\frac{1}{50}m_1u_1^2=\frac{1}{2}m_2v_2^2\), \(\frac{25 - 1}{50}m_1u_1^2=\frac{1}{2}m_2v_2^2\), \(\frac{24}{50}m_1u_1^2=\frac{1}{2}m_2v_2^2\).
Since \(m_2v_2=\frac{4}{5}u_1\), then \(v_2=\frac{4}{5m_2}u_1\). Substitute into the kinetic - energy equation: \(\frac{24}{50}m_1u_1^2=\frac{1}{2}m_2(\frac{4}{5m_2}u_1)^2\).
\(\frac{24}{50}m_1=\frac{8}{25m_2}\), \(m_2=\frac{2}{3}\ kg\).

Question 2:
Step1: Analyze the motion of the ball and bullet after collision
For the ball, it is a horizontal - projectile motion. \(h = 20\ m\), \(x_1 = 30\ m\), \(h=\frac{1}{2}gt^2\), so \(t=\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}=\sqrt{\frac{2\times20}{10}} = 2\ s\). The horizontal velocity of the ball after collision \(v_{ball}=\frac{x_1}{t}=\frac{30}{2}=15\ m/s\).
For the bullet, \(x_2 = 120\ m\), \(t = 2\ s\), and from conservation of momentum \(m_{bullet}u=m_{bullet}v_{bullet}+m_{ball}v_{ball}\), \(m_{bullet}=10\ g = 0.01\ kg\), \(m_{ball}=200\ g = 0.2\ kg\).
The horizontal velocity of the bullet after collision \(v_{bullet}=\frac{x_2}{t}=\frac{120}{2}=60\ m/s\).
From conservation of momentum \(0.01u=0.01\times60 + 0.2\times15\), \(0.01u=0.6 + 3\), \(0.01u = 3.6\), \(u = 360\ m/s\).
