A 70.0 kg ice hockey goalie, originally at rest, has a 0.280 kg hockey puck slapped at him at a velocity of 45.5 m/s. Suppose the goalie and the puck have an elastic collision, and the puck is reflected back in the direction from which it came. What would the final velocities ?goalie and ?puck of the goalie and the puck, respectively, be in this case? Assume that the collision is completely elastic.
3. This problem refers to the figure below: mmm There are 3 identical bobs of mass m hanging side-by-side. Two are then lifted to a height of h and released. The collisions in this problem are elastic. Answer the following questions: (a) Let's call the initial and final state immediately before and after the collision, respectively. Write down the initial momentum and kinetic energy of the system in terms of m and h. (b) Show that, after the collision, the left and center bobs rise to height h while the right bob becomes stationary. In particular, show that the center bob acts as if it were swinging freely as a lone pendulum.

Can you help me with this problem A 0.156 kg glider is moving to the right on a frictionless, horizontal air track with a speed of 0.900 m/sm/s. It has a head-on collision with a 0.291 kg glider that is moving to the left with a speed of 2.15 m/s Suppose the collision is elastic.Find the magnitude of the final velocity of the 0.156 kg glider in m/s. Find the magnitude of the final velocity of the 0.291 kg glider in m/s
Two objects collide head-on (see figure below). The first object is moving with an initial speed of v1i = 8.09 m/s and the second object is moving with an initial speed of v2i = 10.00 m/s. Assuming the collision is elastic, m1 = 5.06 kg, and m2 = 6.18 kg, determine the final velocity of each object. (Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer. Positive is to the right, and negative is to the left. Due to the nature of this problem, do not use rounded intermediate values in your calculations) v1f = m/s v2f = m/s

Use the worked example above to help you solve this problem. A car with mass 1.54 x 103 kg traveling east at a speed of 29.7 m/s collides at an intersection with a 2.47 x 103 kg van traveling north a speed of 17.2 m/s, as shown in the figure. Find the magnitude and direction of the velocity of the wreckage after the collision, assuming that the vehicles undergo a perfectly inelastic collision (that is, they stick together) and assuming that friction between the vehicles and the road can be neglected. 0.8 magnitude Your response differs significantly from the correct answer.
