Two identical 1350-kg automobiles A and B are at rest with their brakes released when B is struck by a 5400-kg truck C that is moving to the left at 8 km/h. A second collision then occurs when B strikes A . Assuming the first collision is perfectly plastic and the second collision is perfectly elastic, determine the velocities of the three vehicles just after the second collision.
A billiard ball, A, with unknown mass, travels horizontally at ?? = 2.50 m/s when it strikes another billiard ball, B, with the same mass, sitting at the edge of a table which is ℎ = 0.800 m high. Assume that the collision of the two billiard balls is perfectly elastic. Calculate the horizontal distance billiard ball B travels from the edge of the table until it hits the ground.

Two shuffleboard disks of equal mass, one orange and the other yellow, are involved in an elastic, glancing collision. The yellow disk is initially at rest and is struck by the orange disk moving with a speed of 5.00 m/s. After the collision, the orange disk moves along a direction that makes an angle of 37.0° with its initial direction of motion. The velocities of the two disks are perpendicular after the collision. Determine the final speed of each disk.
Two particles with masses 2m and 8m are moving toward each other along the x axis with the same initial speeds vi. Particle 2m is traveling to the left, while particle 8m is traveling to the right.

A 10.0-g marble slides to the left with a velocity of magnitude 0.400 m/s on the frictionless, horizontal surface of an icy New York sidewalk and has a head-on, elastic collision with a larger 30.0-g marble sliding to the right with a velocity of magnitude 0.200 m/s. Find the velocity of each marble (magnitude and direction) after the collision. (Since the collision is head-on, all the motion is along a line.) (b) Calculate the change in momentum (that is, the momentum after the collision minus the momentum before the collision) for each marble.

You are at the controls of a particle accelerator, sending a beam of 2.70×107 m/s protons (mass m ) at a gas target of an unknown element. Your detector tells you that some protons bounce straight back after a collision with one of the nuclei of the unknown element. All such protons rebound with a speed of 2.40×107 m/s . Assume that the initial speed of the target nucleus is negligible and the collision is elastic. What is the speed of the unknown nucleus immediately after such a collision?
