A 3.45 kg black ball traveling 4 m/s has a head on collision with a white one at rest. Using the velocities shown, calculate the mass of the white ball, Ignore friction and air resistance. 0 m/s 4 m/s 1.4 m/s 5.7 m/s
You wake up one morning to find yourself in a strange room with opaque walls, and no visible doors or windows. You decide to do some experiments to find out more about your strange situation. Your own body mass is 50.1 kg. You pick up an object and drop it from rest, starting at a height of 1.97 meters above the floor, and it hits the floor 0.380 seconds later. You can ignore air resistance. Based on the outcome of this experiment, when you step on the scale provided for you, what weight will it register for your body? 684 N 911 N 1,367 N 491.5 N
A 7.0 g bullet is fired into a 1.5 kg block and becomes embedded in the block. After the collision, the block slides 2.80 m up an incline of 30 degrees with a surface that has a coefficient of kinetic friction of 0.25. How fast was the bullet traveling prior to striking the block?
A baseball with a mass of 148 g is thrown horizontally with a speed of 39.1 m/s (87 mi/h) at a bat. The ball is in contact with the bat for 1.00 ms and then travels straight back at a speed of 45.3 m/s (101 mi/h). Determine the average force exerted on the ball by the bat. Neglect the weight of the ball (it is much smaller than the force of the bat) and choose the direction of the incoming ball to be positive. (Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.)

Two train cars are heading directly at one another on the same track. The first train of mass m1 has initial velocity v1,i and the second train car of mass m2 has initial velocity v2,i. The second train car has a protective bumper mounted on a spring of force constant k to absorb and dissipate impact forces. When the first train car hits the second, the spring bumper is compressed to a maximum compression xmax. At this point in time, the train cars are moving with the same velocity v. In terms of v1,i, v2,i, m1, m2, k, find expressions for: (a) The velocity v at maximum compression; (b) The maximum compression xmax; and (c) The velocity of each train car after they’ve separated.

A 66.0-kg athlete leaps straight up into the air from a trampoline with an initial speed of 7.5 m/s. The goal of this problem is to find the maximum height she attains and her speed at half maximum height. (a) What are the interacting objects and how do they interact? This answer has not been graded yet. (b) Select the height at which the athlete's speed is 7.5 m/s as y = 0. What is her kinetic energy at this point?

A wooden block of mass M is resting on a horizontal surface. The coefficient of friction is f. One end of a spring with a spring constant k is attached to the block; the other end is attached to a solid wall. The spring is unstretched. A bullet of mass m hits the block and embeds in it. Find the velocity of the bullet before impact in terms of the maximum compression x of the spring and M, k, g, and f. 4.
