Question
"a 1-kg lump of clay traveling at 1 m/s on a frictionless surface, smashes into a 5-kg lump of clay, which is initially not moving. they stick and become one 6-kg lump. a) what is their final speed and b) what percentage, if any, of the initial kinetic energy gets lost (likely turned into heat and sound) during collision?" I'm able to solve part a, I get an answer of 0.17 m/s, but how do I solve part b?

- A woman of mass m = 63 kg runs at a velocity vi = 1.53 m/s before jumping on a skateboard that is initially at rest. After jumping on the board the woman has a velocity vf = 1.42 m/s.b. What is the mass of the skateboard in kilograms? mb =c. The woman soon loses his balance and falls backwards off the board at a velocity of 1.0 m/s. Assuming momentum is conserved in this process, what is the skateboard's new velocity in meters per second? [Note: this may not be a very good assumption, as there can be significant friction in the ball bearings of the skateboard]arrow_forwardthis is a multi step problem but I am just having trouble with this part of the problem. Here are the values that I correctly calculated: mass of particle 1=6 kg initial velocity for particle 1= 185i+138j final velocity for particle 1= -68.89i+-50.67j I am trying to find: What is the change in kinetic energy for particle 1? I understand I have to use KT= 1/2*m*(vf2-vi2) but I keep getting the wrong answer can you please help?arrow_forwardWhen no energy is lost to thermal modes in a collision, the coefficient of restitution is e = 1. This represents the ideal golfing equipment. The legal maximum is e = 0.83. A 200-g clubhead moving at 88 mph strikes a golf ball. The mass of the golf ball is 45 g. Determine the amount of energy that winds up as KEclubhead, KEball, and Etherm for e = 0.83. Round the final answer to two decimal places.arrow_forward

- Jermaine is riding his skateboard around the playground when he “accidentally” bumps into his older brother, Tito, who is sitting motionless on a swing. Jermaine’s mass is 35 kg and Tito’s mass is 45 kg and Jermaine comes to rest because of the collision. If Tito swings up to a height of 0.50 m above his starting position because of the collision, how fast was Jermaine moving just before the collisionarrow_forwardA 1000 kg car traveling at 15 m/s runs into a 2000 kg car at rest. Determine the percent of kinetic energy lost. I know that the final velocity is 5m/s, but I don't know how to find the energy lost (should be 67%).

The bullet completely passes through the first block and is buried in the second block. Notice that after the collision, both blocks move. Can the Conservation Principle be applied from Linear Momentum to this three-body system? Justify your answer (Ignore any loss of mass from the first block). Problem: A 4.00-g bullet moves horizontally with velocity of + 355m / s. The mass of the first block is 1150 g, and its velocity after the bullet passes through it it is +0.550 m / s. The mass of the second block is 1530 g. (a) Obtain the speed of the bullet after passing through the first block, (b) obtain the velocity of the second block after the bullet is buried in itarrow_forward
