- Review the following situations and determine whether each is an elastic collision or an inelastic collision. elastic collision inelastic collision ______ A moving hockey puck strikes one at rest; the objects exchange velocity. ______ A collision between a volleyball and a basketball occurs; there is no deformation. ______ After the collision, objects are stuck together and moving together. ______ Momentum and kinetic energy are conserved. ______ Momentum is conserved; kinetic energy is not.arrow_forward*Two objects have an elastic collision. The mass of m 1 is much greater than that of m 2 , so that thevelocity of m 1 is barely affected by the collision. The initial velocity of m 1 is +20 m/s and m 2 is initially atrest. After the collision, what will be the velocity of m 2 ?arrow_forward* Your answer is incorrect. Two particles lie on an x axis, particle 1 at x = 1 m and particle 2 at x = 2 m. If you gradually increase the mass of particle 2, what happens to the center of mass of the two-particle system? moves in the negative direction of x O does not move O moves in the positive direction of xarrow_forward
- Question 6arrow_forwardA small car has a head-on collision with a large truck. Which of the following statements concerning the magnitude of the average force due to the collision is correct? O The small car experiences the greater average force magnitude. The small car and the truck experience the same average force magnitude. O The truck experiences the greater average force magnitude. It is impossible to tell since the masses are not given. It is impossible to tell since the velocities are not given. L _arrow_forwardc.

- A cue ball initially moving at 2 m/s strikes a stationary eight ball of the same size and mass. After the collision, the cue ball's final speed is 1 m/s at an angle of 0 with respect to its original line of motion. О Before 2 m/s 1 m/s 0 After Find the eight ball's speed after the col- lision. Assume an elastic collision (ignoring friction and rotational motion). Answer in units of m/s. Answer in units of m/s.arrow_forwardYou throw a 145-gram baseball horizontally into a 3.3-kg box which is at rest on a table top. The baseball strikes the box with a pre-impact horizontal speed of 41 m/s. The box is filled with cotton to absorb the blowand effectively catch the ball. If the ball and box slide a distance of 25 cm across the table after the collision, what is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the table? a) 0.61 b) 0.51 c) 0.41 d) none of these.arrow_forwardA1arrow_forward
- Question Vị = 8 m/s A Vi = 16 m/s Objects A and B (Mass A = 6kg, Mass B = 4kg) have a head-on collision as shown. Immediately before the collision, Object A has a velocity of 8 m/s to the right, and Object B has a velocity 16 m/s to the left. Immediately after the collision, Object A has a velocity 4 m/s to the left. What is the magnitude and direction of the velocity of Object B ilmmediately after the collision? %3D Answerarrow_forwardA shell is shot with an initial velocity of 25 m/s, at an angle of 0o = 63° with the horizontal. At the top of the trajectory, the shell explodes into two fragments of equal mass (see the figure). One fragment, whose speed immediately after the explosion is zero, falls vertically. How far from the gun does the other fragment land, assuming that the terrain is level and that air drag is negligible? Explosion Ťarrow_forwardIn a perfectly inelastic one-dimensional collision between two objects, what initial condition alone is necessary so that a the system is gone after the collision? O The objects must have momenta with the same magnitude but opposite directions. medi ume O The objects must have the same mass. O The objects must have the same velocity. O The objects must have the same speed, with velocity vectors in opposite directions. ACarrow_forward
