An 0.250kg object, going 2m/s, slides across a frictionless surface into another object (0.400kg) at rest. The 0.250kg object bounces backwards at a 135o angle from the other object going at 1.5o m/s. What is the magnitude and direction of the 0.400kg object after the collision?
A firecracker sits at rest on a frictionless floor and explodes into three pieces. The velocities of two pieces are shown below; these particles have equal speed after the explosion. √1 1 √2 If Piece 2 is twice as massive as Piece 1, which choice shows the direction of Piece 3's velocity after the explosion? 0
Godzilla is fighting Mothra in Tokyo (again). Godzilla climbs a tall building and, while standing on the top of the building, Mothra slams into him at a speed of 400 m/s. Godzilla grabs onto Mothra during the impact and they are thrown from the top of the building. If Godzilla has a mass of 9 * 103 kg and Mothra has a mass of 3.1 * 103 kg, how fast are the two monsters going as they pitch from the top of the building?
A 3.00-kg steel ball strikes a wall with a speed of 10.0 m/s at an angle of θ = 60.0º with the surface. It bounces off with the same speed and angle. 1.

Olaf is standing on a sheet of ice that covers the football stadium parking lot in Buffalo, New York; there is negligible friction between his feet and the ice. A friend throws Olaf a ball of mass 0.400 kg that is traveling horizontally at 10.5 m/s. Olaf's mass is 72.8 kg. If Olaf catches the ball, with what speed vf do Olaf and the ball move afterward? If the ball hits Olaf and bounces off his chest horizontally at 8.40 m/sm/s in the opposite direction, what is his speed vf after the collision?
In this problem, an astronaut is landes on the 6.1×1021 kg asteroid traveling at 9830 m/s and detonates a nuclear bomb. The asteroid breaks into two pieces of equal mass. One piece will fly off at an angle of 30∘ and speed 9700 m/s. What will be the speed and angle of the second piece?
As part of a carnival game, a ?b=0.528 kgmb=0.528 kg ball is thrown at a stack of 22.8 cm22.8 cm tall, ?o=0.403 kgmo=0.403 kg objects and hits with a perfectly horizontal velocity of ?b,i=11.1 m/s.vb,i=11.1 m/s. Suppose that the ball strikes the topmost object. Immediately after the collision, the ball has a horizontal velocity of ?b,f=3.10 m/svb,f=3.10 m/s in the same direction, the topmost object has an angular velocity of ?o=4.03 rad/sωo=4.03 rad/s about its center of mass, and all the remaining objects are undisturbed. Assume that the ball is not rotating and that the effect of the torque due to gravity during the collision is negligible.
