Question
Two barges full of salted toad guts have a collision. The red barge has a mass of 150 000 kg
and is traveling Northwest at 0.25 m/s. The blue barge has a mass of 100 000 kg and is
traveling Southeast at 0.1 m/s. After the collision the blue barge has a velocity of 0.32 m/s to
the Northwest. What is the final velocity of the red barge? Isthis collision elastic?

- Olaf is standing on a sheet of ice that covers the football stadium parking lot in Buffalo, New York; there is negligible friction between his feet and the ice. A friend throws Olaf a ball of mass 0.400 kg that is traveling horizontally at 10.5 m/s. Olaf's mass is 72.8 kg. If Olaf catches the ball, with what speed vf do Olaf and the ball move afterward? If the ball hits Olaf and bounces off his chest horizontally at 8.40 m/sm/s in the opposite direction, what is his speed vf after the collision?arrow_forwardA west bound 1500 kg car moving at 13.0 m/s collide with a north bound 2500 kg car moving at 20.0 m/s.
