One object is at rest, and another is moving. The two collide in a one-dimensional, completely inelastic collision. In other words, they stick together after the collision and move off with a common velocity. Momentum is conserved. The speed of the object that is moving initially is 27 m/s. The masses of the two objects are 3.9 and 9.0 kg. Determine the final speed of the two-object system after the collision for the case (a) when the large-mass object is the one moving initially and the case (b) when the small-mass object is the one moving initially.

(c) If the ship is an aircraft carrier that launches these airplanes with a catapult, discuss the implications of your answer to (b) as it relates to recoil effects of the catapult on the ship.
A soccer player runs up behind a 0.450-kg soccer ball traveling at 3.20 m/s and kicks it in the same direction as it is moving, increasing its speed to 12.8 m/s. (a) What is the change in the magnitude of the balls momentum? (b) What magnitude impulse did the soccer player deliver to the ball? (c) What magnitude impulse would be required to kick the ball in the opposite direction at 12.8 m/s, instead? (See Section 6.1.)
The figure below shows a bullet of mass 200 g traveling horizontally towards the east with speed 400 m/s, which strikes a block of mass 1.5 kg that is initially at rest on a frictionless table. After striking the block, the bullet is embedded in the block and the block and the bullet move together as one unit. a. What is the magnitude and direction of the velocity of the block/bullet combination immediately after the impact? b. What is the magnitude and direction of the impulse by the block on the bullet? c. What is the magnitude and direction of the impulse from the bullet on the block? d. If it took 3 ms for the bullet to change the speed from 400 m/s to the final speed after impact, what is the average force between the block and the bullet during this time?
Initially, ball 1 rests on an incline of height h, and ball 2 rests on an incline of height h/2 as shown in Figure P11.40. They are released from rest simultaneously and collide in the trough of the track. If m2 = 4 m1 and the collision is elastic, find an expression for the velocity of each ball immediately after the collision. FIGURE P11.40 Problems 40 and 41.
A 60.0-kg person bends his knees and then jumps straight up. After his feet leave the floor, his motion is unaffected by air resistance and his center of mass rises by a maximum of 15.0 cm. Model the floor as completely solid and motionless. (a) Does the floor impart impulse to the person? (b) Does the floor do work on the person? (c) With what momentum does the person leave the floor? (d) Does it make sense to say that this momentum came from the floor? Explain. (e) With what kinetic energy does the person leave the flow? (f) Does it make sense to say that this energy came from the floor? Explain.
Initially, ball 1 rests on an incline of height h, and ball 2 rests on an incline of height h/2 as shown in Figure P11.40. They are released from rest simultaneously and collide elastically in the trough of the track. If m2 = 4 m1, m1 = 0.045 kg, and h = 0.65 m, what is the velocity of each ball after the collision?

a man of mass m1 = 70.0 kg is skating at v1 = 8.00 m/s behind his wife of mass m2 = 50.0 kg, who is skating at v2 = 4.00 m/s. Instead of passing her, he inadvertently collides with her. He grabs her around the waist, and they maintain their balance. (a) Sketch the problem with before-and-after diagrams, representing the skaters as blocks. (b) Is the collision best described as elastic, inelastic, or perfectly inelastic? Why? (c) Write the general equation for conservation of momentum in terms of m1, v1, m2, v2, and final velocity vf. (d) Solve the momentum equation for vf. (e) Substitute values, obtaining the numerical value for vf, their speed after the collision.

A tennis ball of mass 57.0 g is held just above a basketball of mass 590 g.

(a) Find the magnitude of the basketballs velocity the instant before the basketball reaches the ground. (b) Assume that an elastic collision with the ground instantaneously reverses the velocity of the basketball so that it collides with the tennis ball just above it. To what height does the tennis ball rebound? Figure P6.45
