A package of mass m is released from rest at a warehouse loading dock and slides down the h = 2.0 m high, frictionless chute to a waiting truck. Unfortunately, the truck driver went on a break without having removed the previous package, of mass 2m2m, from the bottom of the chute. Suppose the packages stick together. What is their common speed after the collision? Suppose the collision between the packages is perfectly elastic. To what height does the package of 2m mass mm rebound?

Bullet of mass 105 grams, hits the stationary block of mass 15,190g (originally frictionless surface) and embeds in it. The block then enters a rough surface (coefficient of friction= 0.30) by a distance of 9.0 meters, before coming to stop. Find the speed of the bullet when it hits the block. Use g = 9.8 m/s2 and state your answer in m/s to the nearest tenth of m/s.
A teacher attending a meeting decided to check what would happen with kinetic mercy if she changed the momentum. She decided to conduct an experiment using a dynamics cart. The student measured the speed of the cart as she released it from inclined surfaces with different slopes. She was able to increase the momentum by a factor of 17. By what factor did the kinetic energy change.
A 2.0-kg object moves to the right with a speed of 4.0 m/s. It collides in a perfectly elastic head-on collision with a 5.0-kg object at rest. (a) What is the total kinetic energy after the collision? (b) What is the speed of the 2.0-kg object after the collision? (c) What is the speed of the 5.0-kg object after the collision?

A 7,300-kg truck runs into the rear of a 1,000-kg car that was stationary. The truck and car are locked together after the collision and move with speed 8 m/s. Compute how much kinetic energy was "lost" in this inelastic collision. answer using J (JOULE)
In a railroad accident, a boxcar weighing 200 kN and traveling at 2.00 m/s on horizontal track slams into a stationary caboose weighing 440 kN. The collision connects the caboose to the boxcar. How much energy is transferred from kinetic energy to other forms of energy in the collision?
Figure shows a ballistic pendulum, a simple system for measuring the speed of a bullet. A bullet of mass mB makes a completely inelastic collision with a block of wood of mass mW, which is suspended like a pendulum. After the impact, the block swings up to a maximum height h. In terms of h, mB, and mW, what is the initial speed v1 of the bullet?
An object weighing 26700 N falls from a height of 1.8 m on an object weighing 4450 N, standing still on the ground. At the end of a completely inelastic collision, the object on the ground penetrates the ground 2.5 cm. What is the average resistance force applied by the ground? (g = 9,8 m / s2)
Two blocks with masses m1 = 1.4kg and m2 = 4.6kg are at rest on a frictionless surface with a compressed spring between them. When the blocks are let go, block 1 is observed to have a velocity of 4.4m/s to the left. What is the speed of block 2?

In the figure below, a 3.1 kg box of running shoes slides on a horizontal frictionless table and collides with a 1.8 kg box of ballet slippers initially at rest on the edge of the table, at height = 0.40 m. The speed of the 3.1 kg box is 5.0 m/s just h before the collision. If the two boxes stick together because of packing tape on their sides, what is their kinetic energy just before they strike the floor? ។ h
