A 0.017-kg bullet is fired into a stationary block of wood of mass of 4.7 kg. The relative speed of the bullet with respect to the wood is zero after collision (The bullet becomes embedded on the block of wood). If the speed of the bullet before collision is 472 m/s, what is the kinetic energy of the bullet-plus-wood combination right after the collision? Assume no change in the potential energy of the system before and after the collision. Express your answer in two decimal places, in Joules.
When some cars are advertised, they quote a "stopping distance" from some speed to zero. The mass of the car and this value of "some speed" give a measure of initial motion, but we aren't necessarily told the mass. Using the stopping distance, one can directly calculate what physical quantity provided by the brakes? A impulse B chemical potential energy C power D kinetic energy E force F velocity G work H acceleration I mass
<p>Consider the swinging-balls apparatus. If two balls are lifted and released, momentum is conserved as two balls pop out the other side with the same speed as the released balls at impact. But momentum would also be conserved if one ball popped out at twice the speed. Can you explain why this never happens? (And can you explain why this exercise is in Chapter 7 rather than in Chapter 6?)</p>

a 600 gram banana sliding north on a frictionless table at 2.5 meters per second bounces of a 400 gram kiwi fruit that is initially at rest , after colliding the banana continues moving north at 0.5 meters per second. At the North edge of the track is a frictionless inclined ramp which the kiwi fruit slides up to then the kiwi comes back down the ramp , without losing energy , and will now be moving south , the kiwi will catch up and hit the banana again. How much momentum did the kiwi have just before the sticky collision ? how much just after ? how much did the kiwis momentum change ?
