Nate the Skate was an avid physics student whose main non‑physics interest in life was high‑speed skateboarding. In particular, Nate would often don a protective suit of Bounce-Tex, which he invented, and after working up a high speed on his skateboard, would collide with some object. In this way, he got a gut feel for the physical properties of collisions and succeeded in combining his two passions.* On one occasion, the Skate, with a mass of 121 kg, including his armor, hurled himself against a 887 kg stationary statue of Isaac Newton in a perfectly elastic linear collision. As a result, Isaac started moving at 1.17 m/s and Nate bounced backward.
What were Nate's speeds immediately before and after the collision? (Enter positive numbers). Ignore friction with the ground.

- *Problem 2: т An object is initially moving in the positive y-hat direction with a speed of 1 The object then explodes into three S m pieces. Piece 1 has a mass of 0.5 kg and moves with a velocity of 2£ + 3ŷ. Piece 2 has a mass of 0.35 kg and m moves with a velocity of -3£ + 1ŷ. Piece 3 has a mass of 0.15 kg. a) Draw a picture of the situation. b) Apply conservation of momentum to this problem. c) Find the velocity of piece 3. (Answer: 0.33£ – 5.7ŷ)arrow_forwardYou are standing at a stop light waiting to cross the street when you witness a collision. A 2,300 kg Ford F150 truck collides head on with a 1,300 kg Toyota Corolla. The Ford F150 is moving to the right immediately before the collision and the Corolla is initially moving to the left. The two vehicles have the same initial speed and vehicles stick together after the collision. A. What type of collision is this? B. Which vehicle will experience the greater change in momentum? C. Which vehicle will experience the greater acceleration?arrow_forwardPhysics homework assignment, I don't know how to do this question. There's three parts but it's all one question.
