In the game of pool, the cue ball and 8-ball both have a mass of 0.5kg, and are on a frictionless pool table surface. A pool player hits the cue ball, giving it a velocity of 5m/s. The cue ball hits the 8-ball, and the cue ball stops during the collision. Find the velocity of 8-ball after the collision. m/s

A 1200kg car travelling initially with a speed of 25m/s in an easterly direction crashes into a 9000 kg truck moving to the west at 20m/s. The velocity of the car after collision is 15m/s to the west. Calculate the magnitude of the speed of the truck after the collision.
Determine the unknown velocity value. Assume that the collisions occur in an isolated system.
A fast car is speeding down a road with a velocity of v. It collides with a truck moving in the opposite direction that has a mass that is four times that of the fast car. They are both moving at the same speed. If the collision is elastic, then what are both of the vehicles velocities given as multiples of v.
A 14,000-kg boxcar is coasting at 1.50 m/s along a horizontal track when it suddenly hits and couples with a stationary 10,000-kg boxcar. What is the speed of the cars just after the collision? m/s
A bullet of mass mb is fired horizontally with speed vi at a wooden block of mass mw resting on a frictionless table. The bullet hits the block and becomes completely embedded within it. After the bullet has come to rest relative to the block, the block, with the bullet in it, is traveling at speed vf.
Two carts are involved in an elastic, head on collision. Cart A has a mass of mA = 1.5mB, and initial velocity of vAi = 4.5 m/sto the right. Cart B has an initial velocity of vBi = 0m/s and a final velocity ofvBf = 2m/sto the right after the collision. a) What is the final velocity of cart A? b) What is the mass of cart B?
A car (mass = 1110 kg) is traveling at 31.2 m/s when it collides head-on with a sport utility vehicle (mass=2900 kg) traveling in the opposite direction. In the collision, the two vehicles come to a halt. At what speed was the sport utility vehicle traveling? vo, car VO, SUV Before collision After collision
In the figure below, a cue ball is shot toward the eight-ball on a pool table. The cue ball is shot at the eight-ball with a speed of 7.85 m/s in a direction 30.0° from the y axis. Both balls have the same mass of 0.170 kg. After the balls undergo an elastic collision, the eight-ball travels in the negative x direction into the side pocket. What is the velocity of the cue ball after this collision? (Express your answer in vector form.) Vf, cue m/s %3D 30° ta
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.
The cue ball is moving at speed 2.3 m/s in the positive direction and hits a red ball that is at rest. After the collision the red ball starts moving in the same direction as the incoming cue ball with velocity 4.9 m/s. Find the velocity of the cue ball after the collision assuming that both balls have the same masses. Don't forget that the velocity is a vector.
A 5000-kg car moving at 19.1 m/s in the +x direction hits from behind a second car moving at 13 m/s in the same direction.
