As the drawing illustrates, two disks with masses m₁ and m₂ are moving horizontally to the right at a speed of vo. They are on an airhockey table, which supports them with an essentially frictionless cushion of air. They move as a unit, with a compressed spring between them, which has a negligible mass. Then the spring is released and allowed to push the disks outward. Consider the situation where disk 1 comes to a momentary halt shortly after the spring is released. Assuming that m₁ = 1.3 kg, m₂ = 2.5 kg, and vo= +4.4 m/s, find the velocity of disk 2 at that moment. Vf2 = i m1 m2 VO

The figure below shows a system of three identical particles A, B and C each with mass M. Particles B and C are fixed in place on the x – axis at the same distance D from the origin. Particle A is held in place on the y – axis at a distance v3D from the origin. If particle A is released and allowed to move freely, with what speed will it pass through the origin? В C D -D-
Marble A was released at a certain height of the ramp and hit Marble B on the horizontal end of the ramp. Both Marbles A and B weighs 5 grams. The horizontal distances covered by marbles A and B after the collision are 5 cm and 35 cm, respectively. The elevation from the edge of the ramp to the ground is 15cm. Assuming that energy and momentum are conserved, what is initial potential energy (in erg; erg = dyne.cm) of Marble A? Use g=980cm/s2. Round off your answer to two decimal places.
In the figure, block 2 (mass 1.40 kg) is at rest on a frictionless surface and touching the end of an unstretched spring of spring constant 198 N/m. The other end of the spring is fixed to a wall. Block 1 (mass 1.40 kg), traveling at speed v₁ = 3.50 m/s, collides with block 2, and the two blocks stick together. When the blocks momentarily stop, by what distance is the spring compressed? 1 ooooo Number i Units
We have a non-rotating space station in the shape of a long thin uniform rod of mass 4.51 x 10^6 kg and length 1336 meters. Small probes of mass 9720 kg are periodically launched in pairs from two points on the rod-shaped part of the station as shown, launching at a speed of 4220 m/s with respect to the launch points, which are each located 387 m from the center of the rod. After 20 pairs of probes have launched, how fast will the station be spinning? 2.17 rpm 9.04 rpm 3.62 rpm 13.56 rpm
In an elastic collision of particles, one particle is stationary and another one is moving to the particle at speed u. After colliding, particle 1 and 2 moves at two different velocity, say v1 and v2. Why is the angle between v1 and v2 must be 90 degrees if the resulting particles and the initial particles all have the same mass?
Three identical playdough balls collide, two of the clay balls come in at equal angles of 45 degrees and equal (unknown) speeds, and strike the third (stationary) ball simultaneously. All three stick together and move off together without rotating. There are no forces on the balls of clay other than those that they exert on each other. Find the fraction of the original energy of the system that becomes thermal?
