Question
A glider of mass 0.75 kg moves right on a frictionless air tract at 4 m/s and collides head-on with a
second glider of mass 0.15 kg moving left at 6m/s. Find the final velocities of the two gliders if the collision
is perfectly elastic.

- A battleship that is 5.00 x 107 kg and is originally at rest fires a 1300-kg artillery shell horizontally with a velocity of 550 m/s. (a) If the shell is fired straight aft (toward the rear of the ship), there will be negligible friction opposing the ship's recoil. Calculate its recoil velocity in meters per second. 0.0143 m/s (b) Calculate the increase in internal kinetic energy in joules (that is, for the ship and the shell). This energy is less than the energy released by the gun powder – significant heat transfer occurs.
