Puck 1 (0.5 kg) travels with velocity 20 m/s to the right when it collides with puck 2 (1 kg) which is initially at rest. After the collision, puck 1 moves with a velocity of 0 m/s. Assume that no external forces are present and therefore the momentum for the system of pucks is conserved. What is the final velocity (in m/s) of puck 2 after the collision?

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 29 m/s. The masses of the two objects are 2.8 and 8.8 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.

A billiard player sends the cue ball toward a group of three balls that are initially at rest and in contact with one another. After the cue ball strikes the group, the four balls scatter, each traveling in a different direction with different speeds as shown in the figure below. If each ball has the same mass, 0.16 kg, determine the total momentum of the system consisting of the four balls immediately after the collision. (Assume v1 = 0.33 m/s, ?1 = 70°, v2 = 0.49 m/s, ?2 = 30°, v3 = 0.23 m/s, v4 = 0.48 m/s.)

Puck 1 (0.5 kg) travels with velocity 80 m/s to the right when it collides with puck 2 (1 kg) which is initially at rest. After the collision, puck 1 moves with a velocity of 0 m/s. Assume that no external forces are present and therefore the momentum for the system of pucks is conserved. What is the final velocity (in m/s) of puck 2 after the collision?

A 7.6 kg block with a speed of 3.9 m/s collides with a 15.2 kg block that has a speed of 2.6 m/s in the same direction. After the collision, the 15.2 kg block is observed to be traveling in the original direction with a speed of 3.3 m/s. (a) What is the velocity of the 7.6 kg block immediately after the collision? (b) By how much does the total kinetic energy of the system of two blocks change because of the collision? (c) Suppose, instead, that the 15.2 kg block ends up with a speed of 5.2 m/s. What then is the change in the total kinetic energy?

Two balls of clay, with masses M1 = 0.39 kg and M2 = 0.42 kg, are thrown at each other and stick when they collide. Mass 1 has a velocity v1 = 3.4i m/s and mass 2 has a velocity of v2 = 1.75j m/s.a. Write an expression for the initial momentum of the system, P, in terms of the masses M1 and M2, the magnitudes of the velocities v1 and v2 and the unit vectors i and j.

A puck, moving at 20 m/s East, deflects off the goalie so that it then moves at 15 m/s North. What is the magnitude of the change of momentum of the puck caused by the deflection? (in units of kg · O 1000 O 5 O 2 O 10 O none of the given answers is correct

A block with mass M = 5.60 kg is sliding in the positive x-direction at Vi = 8.00 m/s on a frictionless surface when it collides elastically in one dimension with a stationary block with mass m = 1.30 kg. Determine the velocities, Vf and vf, of the objects after the collision. Vf = ? vf = ?

Imagine a collision between two balls: ball A has an initial momentum p of 2 kg-m/s to the right, and ball B is stationary before the collision. B has a mass of 1 kg. After the collision, the velocity of A is 2 m/s to the left and that of B is 3 m/s to the right. What are the mass and initial velocity of ball A? a) The mass of ball A is 5 kg, and its velocity 2 m/s. b) The mass of ball A is 1 kg, and its velocity 3 m/s. c) The mass of ball A is 2 kg, and its velocity 4 m/s. d) The mass of ball A is 0.5 kg, and its velocity 4 m/s.

A 500-gram ball traveling to the right at 4.0 m/s collides with and bounces off another ball that is initially at rest. The figure shows the momentum vector of the first ball after the collision. Draw (a) the momentum vector of the first ball before the collision and (b) the momentum vector of the second ball after the collision.
