This again returns to last week's problem set, and your answers there should help here. For this one, there were two carts on an essentially frictionless track. One cart has a mass of 0.5 kg and the other has a mass of 1.5 kg, and they have velcro that makes them stick together when they collide. They are initially moving toward each other, each with a speed of 0.30 m/s. (a) What is the maximum velocity of the carts just after they collide and stick together? (b) Would this collision be categorized as totally inelastic, inelastic, or (totally) elastic? Explain. (c) How much "convertible kinetic energy" was there in this situation and into what was it converted?

For the same collision as above, motion sensors record the velocities as a function of time for both carts. The graph of this function for the heavier cart is this: 2 t What qualities can we expect to see for a graph of velocity vs. time coming from the motion sensor recording the lighter cart's motion during the same collision? [Note: In our lab, the motion sensors are looking at their respective carts from opposite directions, so the positive direction for one sensor is the negative direction for the other, but for the purposes of this question, we will assume that the sensors agree upon the positive direction .] O The graph goes no higher than dotted line #2. The graph crosses dotted line #2, but goes no higher than dotted line #1. The graph crosses both dotted lines. There is not enough information to determine whether the graph crosses either dotted line.
A medicine ball with a mass of 3kg is thrown at 5 m/s at a 45 kg person who is at rest upon the ice. The person catches the ball. After the "collision" (i.e., the catch), how fast do the person and ball travel together across the ice? Enter your number rounded to the second decimal point.
A 8 kg ball is moving forward at 7 m/s and it runs into a second ball with mass 5 kg also moving forward at 5 m/s. After the collision the 8 kg ball is moving at 2 m/s, what is the velocity of the 5 kg ball?

A ride in the amusement park goes up and down. The ride launches a rider of mass 62.4 kg from an initial velocity of 0.00 m/s[up],to a final velocity of 12.3 m/s[up] and that takes a time of 0.376 seconds. a) Calculate the normal force that the guest experiences from the seat during that time, in which the guest experiences only two forces: normal force and gravity. b) Calculate the g-force the guest experiences during that acceleration. The g-force is the normal force that a person currently experiences, divided by the normal force that the person experiences at rest, with no forces other than normal force and gravity acting on them. Humans have a limit to tolerating g-forces, and high g-forces can be deadly. The most intense rides at a theme park can briefly hit 4-5 g's, while astronauts during…

Consider the diagram which shows a 2D collision between two balls of identical mass (the darker ball is initially at rest). What, if anything, is wrong with this collision? [select ALL of the correct statements from the list below] before 2.0 m/s after 1.89 m/s 0.85 m/s 25° 70⁰ The momentum is not conserved in the horizontal direction The kinetic energy decreases but it should not for this type of collision The momentum is not conserved in the vertical direction The kinetic energy is greater after the collision
From inspection of the torque equation we can find another quantity called the moment of inertia, denoted I, which is the "angular mass". I = mr2 = moment of inertia This was for one point-like mass in the example, but what if we had two balls on the same string some distance apart from one another. Well like before each of these point-like masses has a torque and we are allowed to sum all our torques (similar to forces), i.e. Tnet = T1+ 72 = (mıraı + m2ržaz2)2 Then our moment of inertia for this system would be I = mır} + m2r What if we kept adding masses along the string? Well eventually we would have a distribution of masses along this string that would have to be summed for each radius squared distance they are away from our pivot. If we made a line of masses then we would need to integrate over this distribution of infinitesimal masses to find the total moment of inertia of our system, i.e. Tnet a fr² dm 2 Let's not worry too much about how one would go about integrating out a…
