$A$ mass $m$ moves with a velocity $v$ and collides inelastically with another identical mass at rest. After the collision,the $1^{st}$ mass moves with velocity $\frac{v}{\sqrt{3}}$ in a direction perpendicular to the initial direction of motion. Find the speed of the $2^{nd}$ mass after the collision.

$A$ bullet of mass $m$ and speed $v$ hits a pendulum bob of mass $M$ at time $t_1$,and passes completely through the bob. The bullet emerges at time $t_2$ with a speed of $v/2$. The pendulum bob is suspended by a stiff rod of length $l$ and negligible mass. After the collision,the bob can barely swing through a complete vertical circle. At time $t_3$,the bob reaches the highest position. What quantities are conserved in this process?
