Suppose that a cannon shots out a ball which then collides with a boulder on a cliff. Both the ball and boulder bounce off each other as they collide and they both retain their shapes. The velocity of the cannonball was 197 m/s and it has a mass of 13 kg. On the other hand, the boulder has a 2372 kg mass. a. What is the type of collision in the problem? Provide a proof based on the stated problem. b. Find the velocity of the cannonball after collision. c. Find the velocity of the boulder after collision.
Two identical cars (m = 1350 kg) are traveling at the same speed of 20.2 m/s. They are moving in the directions shown in the drawing. What is the magnitude of the total momentum of the two cars?

1.) A car (mass=400 kg) is traveling down a country road (speed is 10 m/s) when it collides with a deer (mass=200 kg) which is running in the opposite direction (speed is 2 m/s). The collision results in the deer getting stuck on the windshield. Treat this collision using the 'conservation of momentum' principle: a) Draw a sketch - label each MASS and each VELOCITY (with arrows for direction). b) Calculate the final speed of the car (remember the deer is stuck on top of the car) after collision (Note: they stick together to form a single mass)
A two dimensional collision between a green and a purple ball, where the purple ball strikes the green. If the data for both objects' velocities (x and y components) versus time are provided, and the mass of the balls are identical, what is a way to determine if the momentum of the system conserved? Explain your methodology. Green ball: vx = 0 m/s from t = 0 s to t = 0.4 s vx = 17.42 m/s from t = 0.5 s to t = 5 s vy = 0 m/s from t = 0 s to t = 0.4 s vy = -8.01 m/s from t = 0.5 s to t = 5 s Purple ball: vx = 22.3 m/s from t = 0 s to t = 0.4 s vx = 4.878 m/s from t = 0.5 s to t = 5 s vy = 2.6 m/s from t = 0 s to t = 0.4 s vy = 10.61 m/s from t = 0.5 s to t = 5 s
