A cart of mass 33 is moving at a velocity of 16 in the positive directions when it collides with a cart of mass 13.0 moving at a velocity of 6.8 in the opposite direction. If the carts experience a perfectly elastic collision, calculate the speed of the combined mass after the collision.
A dart of mass m = 10.0 g is fired at and sticks into a block of mass M = 85.0 g that is initially at rest on a rough, horizontal surface. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the surface is 0.400. After the collision, the dart and the block slide a distance of 6.00 m before coming to rest. If the dart were fired horizontally, what would its speed be immediately beforeimpact with the block?
In an elastic collision, a 400-kg bumper car collides directly from behind with a second, identical bumper car that is traveling in the same direction. The initial speed of the leading bumper car is 5.60 m/s and that of the trailing car is 6.00 m/s. Assuming that the mass of the drivers is much, much less than that of the bumper cars, what are their final speeds?
You are in a toob floating down the Guadalupe River. The river is flowing with 2 m/s. Your friend, who is 1 meter away, pushes the floating cooler in your direction with a velocity (horizontal to the river) of 0.5 m/s When you catch the floating cooler, consider it an inelastic collision. If your mass is 65 kg and the cooler is 10 kg, what is your final total velocity?
Sally finds herself stranded on a frozen pond so slippery that she can't stand up or walk on it. To save herself, she throws one of her heavy boots horizontally, directly away from the closest shore. Sally's mass is 64.0 kg, the boot's mass is 5.00 kg, and Sally throws the boot with speed equal to 26.5 m/s. For all parts, assume the ice is frictionless and Ihat the positive direction is towards the shore. What is Sally's speed vs immediately after throwing the boot? -2.07 m/s Us = What is the displacement Aro of the center of mass of the Sally-boot system, relative to where she threw the boot, after AF = 2.75 10.0 s? How much time i does it take Sally to reach the shore, a distance of 30.0 m away from where she threw the boot? 14,49

During a pool game, the cue ball, which has an initial speed of 5.0 m/s, makes an elastic collision with the eight ball, which is initially at rest. After the collision, the eight ball moves at an angle of 300 to the right of the original direction of the cue ball. Assume that the balls have equal masses. (a) Find the direction of motion of the cue ball immediately after the collision. (b) Find the speed of each ball immediately after the collision.
A tennis ball of mass 57.0 g is held just above a basketball of mass 637 g. With their centers vertically aligned, both balls are released from rest at the same time, to fall through a distance of 1.30 m, as shown in the figure below. Į (a) Find the magnitude of the downward velocity with which the basketball reaches the ground. 5.05 m/s (b) Assume that an elastic collision with the ground instantaneously reverses the velocity of the basketball while the tennis ball is still moving down. Next, the two balls meet in an elastic collision. To what height does the tennis ball rebound? 14.23 Find the relative velocities of the basketball and the tennis ball just before collision and then apply the appropriate conservation principles and rules for perfectly elastic collisions to find the tennis ball velocity and the height that the basketball reaches. m Need Help?
