A 4.84-g bullet is moving horizontally with a velocity of +343 m/s, where the sign + indicates that it is moving to the right (see part o of the drawing). The bullet is approaching two blocks resting on a horizontal frictionless surface. Air resistance is negligible. The bullet passes completely through the first block (an inelastic collision) and embeds itself in the second one, as indicated in part b. Note that both blocks are moving after the collision with the bullet. The mass of the first block is 1220 g, and its velocity is +0.737 m/s after the bullet passes through it. The mass of the second block is 1621 g. (a) What is the velocity of the second block after the bullet imbeds itself? (b) Find the ratio of the total kinetic energy after the collision to that before the collision.

Two shuffleboard disks of equal mass, one orange and the other green, are involved in a perfectly elastic glancing collision. The green disk is initially at rest and is struck by the orange disk moving initially to the right at v6.00 m/s as in Figure a, shown below. After the collision, the orange disk moves in a direction that makes an angle of 834.0 with the horizontal axis while the green disk makes an angle of 56.0 with this axis as in Figure b.

Two objects, both with a mass of 1.94 kg are sliding across a horizontal, frictionless surface toward each other. If mass 1 has an initial velocity of 4.37 m/s i and mass 2 has an initial velocity of -2.1 m/s i, what is the final speed of the masses if they undergo a perfectly inelastic collision? Assume that total momentum is conserved.
In the figure below, particle 1 of mass m, = 0.21 kg slides rightward along an x axis on a frictionless floor with a speed of 2.4 m/s. When it reaches x = 0, it undergoes a one-dimensional elastic collision with stationary particle 2 of mass m2 = 0.40 kg. When particle 2 then reaches a wall at xw = 70 cm, bounces from it with no loss of speed. At what position on the x axis does particle 2 the collide with particle 1? cm 02 x (cm)
