A puck of mass miis moving along a frictionless table at speed viin the +x- direction when it is hit simultaneously by 2lumps of clay, each of mass m2. Both lumps are traveling at a speed of v2when they hit the puck. One is traveling in the -x-direction, while the other one is dropped from above the table in the -y-direction. The puck and lumps of clay stick together. What is the speed of the puck and clay after the collision? Express your answer in terms of mim2v1and v2only. HINT: Write down the initial momentum of the puck m1. In which direction(s) is momentum conserved(i.e. in which direction(s) is there no net external force? Keep in mind that the table can provide an external normal force).Add the momenta of the lump(s) of clay for which momentum is conserved to your initial momentum. At the end of the day, the puck and both lumps of clay stick together so the final momentum is pf=(m1+m2+m2)vf. Set the initial and final momenta equal to each other and solve forvf.
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?

he figure shows an approximate plot of force magnitude F versus time t during the collision of a 56 g Superball with a wall. The initial elocity of the ball is 35 m/s perpendicular to the wall, in the negative direction of an x axis. It rebounds directly back with pproximately the same speed, also perpendicular to the wall. What is Fmax, the maximum magnitude of the force on the ball from the all during the collision?

During a fireworks display, a 0.280-kg bottle rocket approaches the top of its trajectory and explodes into two pieces as in the figure. The first piece (Piece 1) has mass 0.180 kg and the second piece (Piece 2) has mass 0.100 kg. Immediately after the explosion, the first piece is observed traveling to the left at a speed of4.30 m/sand the second piece is observed traveling at an angleθ = 39.0°above the horizon at a speed of 17.0 m/s. Determine the components of the bottle rocket's velocity immediately before the explosion. Vxi = m/s Vyi = m/s
