A satellite orbiting Earth at a velocity of 3700 m/s collides with a piece of space debris traveling at 6000 m/s. If the objects have the same mass and the space debris has a velocity after collision of 3700 m/s, what is the velocity of the satellite after the collision?

A spaceship of mass 2.30x10 kg is cruising at a speed of 4.60x105 m/s when the antimatter reactor fails, blowing the ship into three pieces. One section, having a mass of 5.20x105 kg, is blown straight backward with a speed of 2.50x106 m/s. A second piece, with mass 7.70x105 kg, continues forward at 1.00x106 m/s.

There is a large crater in Arizona called Meteor Crater. It is estimated that it was formed about 20,000 years ago by a meteorite that had a mass of about 5 x 10^10 kg and was traveling at a speed of 7.5 km/sec. How fast could this meteorite have hit the Earth (whose mass is 6 x 10^24 kg) if we assume a head-on collision?

A 0.25 kg mass of clay is moving with a horizontal velocity of v when it collides and sticks to a 5 kg object hanging from the end of a 1 meter long rod. Find the minimum velocity v so that the objects will make one complete revolution.

3. Two asteroids collide and stick together. The first asteroid has mass of 15 × 10³ kg and is initially moving at 770 m/s. The second asteroid has mass of 20 × 10³ kg and is moving at 1020 m/s. Their initial velocities made an angle of 20° with respect to each other. What is the final speed and direction with respect to the velocity of the first asteroid? How much thermal energy is generated in the collision?

An object A moving with velocity v collides with a stationary object B. After the collision, A is moving with velocity 2 1 v and B with velocity 3 2 v. Find the ratio of their masses. If, instead of bouncing apart, the two bodies stuck together after the collision, with what velocity would they then move?

A 40,000kg object moving to the right at 3.1m/s collides with a car of mass 55,000kg moving to the left at 520cm/s. The two cars couples together. What is their speed after the collision? (A) 1.7m/s to the left (B) 3.8m/s to the left (C) 1.7m/s to the right (D)5.9m/s to the right (F)3.8m/s to the right
