A large block of mass 3.80 kg slides on a frictionless table and collides head-on with a small block of mass 2.50 kg. After the collision both blocks move in the same direction as the original motion of the large block, and fall off the edge of the table. The small block hits the floor at a point 2.18 meters horizontally from the edge of the table, while the large block hits the floor at a point 1.38 meters horizontally from the edge of the table. The top of the table is 1.10 m above the floor. Find the speed, in m/s, of the large block before the collision.

In a game of curling, a collision occurs between two stones of equal mass. The object stone is initially at rest. After the collision, the stone that is thrown hasa speed of 0.56m/s in some direction, represented by q. The object stone acquires a velocity vf2= 0.42m/s at an angle of f= 30.0o from the original direction of motion of the thrown stone. Determine the initial velocity of the thrown stone.
two objects with different mass and different velocities collide. Note that the system is an isolated system. Check the statements that are TRUE. For this question: right minus wrong M = 0.70 m/s |M = 0.30 m/s Ipl = 2.10 kg m/s Ip| = 0.60 kg m/s If the collision is elastic, the total kinetic energy of the system is constant. Regardless of the type of collision, the total momentum of the system is always conserved. In a perfectly inelastic collision both the kinetic energy and the momentum of the system is conserved. If the collision is elastic, the kinetic energy of each ball remains constant. If the collision is inelastic, the total kinetic energy of the system is not conserved. If the collision is inelastic, the momentum of the system is not conserved. The two objects will not collide if the momentum of ball 2 is greater than the momentum of ball 1. The momentum of each ball is always constant.
