A small (35 g) block is sliding toward the right along a table when it hits a larger (90 grams) block that was at rest. After the collision, the large block slides 72 cm to the right before coming to a rest, while the small block bounces off the large block, sliding 1.5 m to the left before stopping. The somewhat rough table has a coefficient of kinetic friction of 0.42. What is the velocity of the small block just before it hits the larger block?
A block of mass m1 = 13.5 kg slides along a horizontal surface (with friction, μk = 0.31) a distance d = 2.3 m before striking a second block of mass m2 = 8.5 kg. The first block has an initial velocity of v = 9.5 m/s. a)Assuming that block one stops after it collides with block two, what is block two's velocity after impact in m/s? b) How far does block two travel, d2 in meters, before coming to rest after the collision?
A 1500 kg object moving at 10 m/s collides with a brick wall and comes to a complete stop. If the collision time is 0.05 what was the average stopping force?
A toy car with a mass of 128 g moves to the right with a speed of 0.810 m/s. A small child drops a 30.0-g piece of clay onto the car. The clay sticks to the car and the car continues to the right. What is the change in speed of the car? Consider the frictional force between the car and the ground to be negligible. -0.15 m/s
A car of mass 1,907 kg collides with a wall. The initial speed of the car is 18.2 m/s. After collision, the car bounced in the opposite direction at a speed of 2.9 m/s. If the collision lasted for 172 ms, what was the average force in newtons exerted on the car by the wall? Express your answer in two decimal places with units of Newton.
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
When two object collide in an isolated system, the forces that act on each object at the moment of collision are __________. Group of answer choices greater on the object with less initial momentum greater on the object traveling the slowest greater on the object traveling the fastest equal and opposite greater on the object with more initial momentum greater on the more massive object greater on the less massive object
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 drunk driver in a 2100 kgkg car plows into a 2000 kgkg parked car with its brake set. Police measurements show that the two cars skid together a distance of 21 mm before stopping. If the effective coefficient of friction is 0.74, how fast was the drunk going just before the collision?
A 1500 kg car is sliding at 10 m/s on a snow-covered frictionless road. Then it collides with and sticks to another 1500 kg car that is initially at rest on a snow- covered frictionless road. If the combined cars slide 3 m after the collision on a road not covered with snow and then stop, what is the kinetic friction coefficient of the non-snow covered part of the road?
A 980-kg sports car collides into the rear end of a 2500-kgkg SUV stopped at a red light. The bumpers lock, the brakes are locked, and the two cars skid forward 2.9 mm before stopping. The police officer, estimating the coefficient of kinetic friction between tires and road to be 0.80, calculates the speed of the sports car at impact. Question: What was the speed sports car at impact? v=??
