Question
An air hockey puck is moving with a velocity of 2 in/sec towards a second puck that is at rest. After the two pucks collide, the first puck reverses direction and moves at 0.7 in/sec. If the pucks have the same mass, what is the velocity of the second puck after the collision in m/s? Assume the air hockey table has no friction and that all of the motion is in one dimension.

- A 300 Kg red bumper car is traveling with a velocity of +2.5 m/s. Over a 0.5 second time frame it has collided, head-on, into a 500 Kg black bumper car that is initially at rest. After the elastic collision, the red bumper car transfers all its momentum to the black bumper car. What is the final velocity of the red bumper car?arrow_forward2 balls collide head-on in an elastic collision. One ball has a mass of 4.0 kg and an initial velocity of 6.5 m/s.

- A hockey puck moving at 0.460 m/s collides with another puck that was at rest. The pucks have equal mass. The first puER is deflected 37.0° to the right and moves off at 0.360 m/s. What is the speed of the second puck after the collision? m/sarrow_forwardOne object is at rest, and another is moving. The two collide in a one-dimensional, completely inelastic collision. In other words, they stick together after the collision and move off with a common velocity. Momentum is conserved. The speed of the object that is moving initially is 29 m/s. The masses of the two objects are 2.8 and 8.8 kg. Determine the final speed of the two-object system after the collision for the case (a) when the large-mass object is the one moving initially and the case (b) when the small-mass object is the one moving initially.arrow_forwardA 0.060-kgkg tennis ball, moving with a speed of 5.80 m/sm/s , has a head-on collision with a 0.090-kgkg ball initially moving in the same direction at a speed of 3.48 m/sm/s . Assume that the collision is perfectly elastic. Determine the speed of the 0.090-kgkg ball after the collision. Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.arrow_forward
- A 92 kg boulder , moving at 5.0 m/s attempts to pass directly across the adit of a mine. Just as the boulder reaches the end of the adit, it was met head-on in midair by two 75 kg miners, both moving in the direction opposite the boulder. One is moving 2.0 m/s, the other at 3.0 m/s . They all become entangled as one mass. What is their velocity after the collision? 18.

A hockey puck of mass 4m has been rigged to explode, as part of a practical joke. Initially the puck is at rest on a frictionless ice rink. Then it bursts into three pieces. One chunk, of mass m, slides across the ice at speed v. Another chunk, of mass 2m, slides across the ice at speed 2v, in a direction at right angles to the direction of the first piece. From this information, find the velocity of the final chunk.
