In a first experiment A 20-g clay ball is shot at a speed of 1.3 m/s horizontally from the edge of a table. The ball lands on the floor 0.60 m from the table. In a second experiment, the same ball is shot at the same speed, but this time the ball hits a wooden block that is placed on the edge of the table. The ball sticks to the block, and the block lands on the floor 50 mm from the table.

Determine the mass of the block?
