Question

As shown in the figure below, a bullet is fired at and passes through a piece of target paper suspended by a massless string. The bullet has a mass m, a speed v before the collision with the target, and a speed (0.526)v after passing through the target. The collision is inelastic and during the collision, the amount of energy lost is equal to a fraction [(0.393)KEb BC] of the kinetic energy of the bullet before the collision. Determine the mass M of the target and the speed V of the target the instant after the collision in terms of the mass m of the bullet and speed v of the bullet before the collision. (Express your answers to at least 3 decimals.)

V=

M=

I actually have no idea how to do this and its my homework question as well
