Calculate the magnitude of the impulse if a ball of mass 379 grams, and initial velocity +4.1 m/s is struck back on the same path with a final velocity of -2.2 m/s. Use two digits of precision for your answer. Your Answer: Answer
A bullet flying horizontally hits a wooden block that is initially at rest on a frictionless, horizontal surface. The bullet gets stuck in the block, and the bullet–block system has a final speed vf. Find the final speed of the bullet–block system in terms of the mass of the bullet mb, the speed of the bullet before the collision vb, the mass of the block mwb, and the amount of thermal energy generated during the collision Eth.
A 1425 kg truck driving at 13.0 m/s collides elastically with a stationary 1175 kg car. If the car is traveling 14.25 m/s just after the collision, what is the velocity of the truck immediately after the collision? Assume that this is a perfectly elastic collision. Round your answer to the hundredths place. Final velocity of the truck = m/s
From the figure below Inelastic collisions. The net momentum of the trucks before and after collision is the same, explain?
How do I solve this question
Can you please draw a body diagram and show me step by step on a picture please. Don't type on the website it's hard to understand, I would appreciate if you put a picture of how you were doing it. A 0.500 kg block is released from rest at the top of a frictionlesstrack 2.50 m above the top of the table. It then collides elasticallywith a 1.00 kg mass that is initially at rest on the table. (a)Determine the speeds of the two masses just after the collision. (b)How high up the track does the 0.500-Kg mass travel back after thecollision? [a) 2.3 m/s, 4.7 m/s, b) 0.28 m]
Please note that question is asking about two possible velocities after the collision. The collision is elastic but there is extra spring potential energy stored in the second cart. What role does that play? According to Key, the correct options are C and D. Intuitively I also picked C and D however I need a physical explanation how the answer is C and D.
Which of these statements are true? Explain why below: a) If an elastic collision occurs, then the change in total momentum is unpredictable. b) If an elastic collision occurs, then the total momentum is increased by the collision. c) If an elastic collision occurs, then the total momentum is decreased by the collision. d) If an elastic collision occurs, then the total momentum remains essentially unchanged by the collision.

Summarize what happens to momentum and kinetic energy in an inelastic collision. That is, compare and contrast the momentum and kinetic energy before and after an inelastic collision.
they are all related to each other if possible can you explain what is the reason for the answer
Problem 1 (use impulse and momentum method) The 150 kg box is subjected to forces as shown. If it starts from rest, determine its speed after travelling for 10 seconds under the effect of those forces. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the floor is 0.3.
