Two blocks of masses M_1 and M_2 are placed in contact with each other on a frictionless horizontal surface. If a force F is applied on the block of mass M, what is the contact force between the two blocks?

A bullet of mass 10xx10^(-3) moving with a speed of 20ms^(-1) hits an ice block (0^(@)C) of 990g kept at rest on a frictionless floor and gets embedded in it. If ice takes 50% of K.E, the amount of ice melted (in grams) approximately is (J=4.2J/cal) (latent heat of ice=80cal/g)
