An archer shoots an arrow toward a 300-g target that is sliding in her direction at a speed of 2.30 m/s on a smooth, slippery surface. The 22.5-g arrow is shot with a speed of 40.0 m/s and passes through the target, which is stopped by the impact. What is the speed of the arrow after passing through the target?
