Set the pink ball mass as 2 kg mass and the blue ball mass as 3kg. The position of blue ball could be -1 and pink ball could be +1. Set the initial velocity of pink ball as -1.5 m/s and that of the blue ball as +3 m/s. Run the experiment and note all the relevant experimental values. 1. Calculate the initial and final kinetic energy values for both balls separately and then the total. 2. Calculate the momenta before and after the collision for each ball. 3. Calculate the final velocity values for each ball.

3. DETAILS n mq MY NOTES ASK YOUR TEACHER PRACTICE ANOTHER You are working with a movie director and investigating a scene with a cowboy sliding off a tree limb and falling onto the saddle of a moving horse. The distance of the fall is several meters, and the calculation shows a high probability of injury to the cowboy from the stunt. Let's look at a simpler situation. Suppose the director asks you to have the cowboy step off a platform 2.95 m off the ground and land on his feet on the ground. The cowboy keeps his legs straight as he falls, but then bends at the knees as soon as he touches the ground. This allows the center of mass of his body to move through a distance of 0.660 m before his body comes to rest. (Center of mass will be formally defined in Linear Momentum and Collisions.) You assume this motion to be under constant acceleration of the center of mass of his body. To assess the degree of danger to the cowboy in this stunt, you wish to calculate the average force upward on…
A freight car of mass 1800 kg is timed at 4.2 m/s just after it runs into a spring-loaded bumper at the end of the track. The bumper consists of an 800 kg mass that the car runs into, and a pair of large springs. The car travels 2.4 m before coming to rest.a. Using an appropriate conservation law, find the speed of the freight car before it struck the bumper. b. Find the time taken for the car to be brought to rest.

A 50 kg mass that weighs 490 Newtons is pushed up a 20m lone ramp that is 2m high. (h). The force required to push the block up the ramp is 49 Newtons. Assume the ramp is frictionless. Don’t confuse mass with weight. Weight is a force and is equal to mg. Answer each question with your work. Calculate the velocity of the block when it reaches the bottom of ramp. (mgh=1/2mv2) If the block is drop from the top of the ramp and fall straight down to the ground,how much kinetic energy will it have at the moment it strikes the ground? Note: many students will answer zero. Keep in mind we are talking about the moment just before it hits the ground. (mgh=1/2mv2) Calculate the velocity of the block the moment it strikes the ground. Keep in mind that it is still moving at that moment.
