Two objects are on a collision course. Object #1 has a mass of 14 kg and an initial velocity of 14 m/s i. Object #2 has a mass of 5 kg and an initial velocity of --3 m/s i. If the system is isolated and the objects stick together upon colliding, what amount of energy is lost in the collision?
Two beads are free to slide along the frictionless wire shown. Bead 1 has m, = 0.395 kg and is released from rest at point A, a height h = 1.50 m. Bead 2 has m2 = 0.700 kg and is also at rest at point B. When released, Bead 1 slides down to point B and collides elastically with Bead 2. What is the speed of Bead # 2 just after the elastic collision? {Consider conservation of energy 'system' and elastic collision} O 7.90 m/s O 1.55 m/s O 9.80 m/s O 2.45 m/s O 3.91 m/s
A steel ball of mass 0.500 kg is fastened to a cord that is 70.0 cm long and fixed at the far end.The ball is then released when the cord is horizontal . At the bottom of its path, the ball strikes a 2.50 kg steel block initially at rest on a frictionless surface. The collision is elastic. Find (a) the speed of the ball and (b) the speed of the block, both just after the collision.
Two objects are on a collision course. Object #1 has a mass of 13.4 kg and an initial velocity of 12.3 m/s i. Object #2 has a mass of 7.53 kg and an initial velocity of -3.69 m/s i. If the system is isolated and the objects stick together upon colliding, what amount of energy is lost in the collision? Assume that all quantities are good to 3 significant figures, All numeric answers should be entered rounded to 3 significant figure.
A 2.0 kg cart moves forward at 5.0 m/s, when it is struck from behind by a 0.50 kg cart moving at 15 m/s. If all motion is linear, and the collision is cushioned by a perfectly elastic bumper, what is the velocity of both carts after the collision?
There is a collision between a box and a ball in the xy plane. The collision is inelastic, but not perfectly inelastic. The box has a mass of 45kg and an initial velocity of 15m/s in the x direction. The ball has a mass of 55kg and an initial velocity of 25 in the y direction. The final velocity of the box was 13 in the y direction. What was the final speed of the ball in m/s?
We have a disk that is 1.49 kg and is traveling at 3.18 m/s to the right. It hits the end of a stick with a mass of 1.61 kg and an overall length of 3.2 m. The stick was originally oriented so that its long axis was perpendicular to the path of the disk, but it rotates after the collision. However, the disk continues moving along the same path after the collision. Assume that the collision is perfectly elastic, there is no friction, and the disk has an insignificant width. 1. Find the speed of the disk after collision. 2. Find the angular speed of the stick after collision.

A billiard ball traveling at 5.00 m/s collides with an identical billiard ball initially at rest on the level table. The initially moving billiard ball (A) deflects 60° from its original direction while the other ball, which was initially at rest, travels 30° from the original direction of A. a)Find the speed of each of the masses A and B after the collision? b) Is the collision elastic or inelastic?
In a railroad accident, a boxcar weighing 200 kN and traveling at 2.00 m/s on horizontal track slams into a stationary caboose weighing 440 kN. The collision connects the caboose to the boxcar. How much energy is transferred from kinetic energy to other forms of energy in the collision?
A 0.0200-kg bullet is shot horizontally and collides with a 2.49-kg block of wood. The bullet embeds in the block, and the block slides along the horizontal surface for 2.20 m. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and surface is 0.400, what was the original speed of the bullet?
A 0.0101-kg bullet is fired straight up at a falling wooden block that has a mass of 4.08 kg. The bullet has a speed of 575 m/s when it strikes the block. The block originally was dropped from rest from the top of a building and had been falling for a time t when the colllision with the bullet occurs. As a result of the collision, the block (with the bullet in it) reverses direction, rises, and comes to momentary halt at the top of the building. Find the time t.
