0.088 m 60⁰ B 0.150 m Two spheres A and B (of mass m each) were fired vertically from the ground with different initial velocities at different times. When sphere A reached its summit, sphere B, with an upward velocity of 6.5 m/s, created a head-on collision with A. The impact caused sphere A to break into two pieces, each of mass m/2. Knowing one-piece reached Point C and the other piece reached point D after the collision, determine: (a) the velocity of sphere B after the collision; (b) the angle and the speeds of the two pieces after the collision; and (c) the force exerted by sphere A on B if the collision occurred in 0.001 s.

A woodblock of mass Mw = 200 g is projected from the ground at a speed v0 = 35 m/s and at an angle, θ0 = 50º. When at height h = 24 m the woodblock was hit by a bullet of mass Mb = 25 g which was moving at vb = 220 m/s and at an angle θb = 70º. After the collision, the bullet embedded itself in the block and move together and land at point A on the ground. Then they move on the ground that has a coefficient of kinetic friction µk = 0.5 and starts to compress a horizontal spring at point B. The distance between point A and B is 18 m and the spring constant k = 3×10^2 N/m. The right end of the spring is fixed, and all motions are confined in x-y plane. (a) Was the collision between the wood block and the bullet elastic or inelastic? Explain quantitively. (b) Find the maximum height from the ground the block with the bullet reached.

You release a 3-kg firecracker from rest. At t = 0.4 s, the firecracker is moving downward with speed 4 m/s. At this same instant, the firecracker begins to explode into two pieces with masses mtop = 1 kg and mbottom = 2 kg. At the end of the explosion (t = 0.8 s), the top piece is moving upward with speed 4 m/s.Determine the velocity of the bottom piece at t = 0.8 s.(Hints: Make a momentum vector diagram. Don’t forget to include impulse in your diagram!)
A particle of m1=0.30 kg slides along the right axis on a frictionless floor with a speed of 2.0 m/s. When it reaches x = 0, it undergoes a one-dimensional elastic collision with stationary particle 2 of mass m2=0.40 kg. When particle 2 then reaches a wall at xw = 72 cm, it bounces from the wall with no loss of speed. At what position on the x axis (in cm) does particle 2 collide with particle 1?

A large block of mass 3.80 kg slides on a frictionless table and collides head-on with a small block of mass 2.50 kg. After the collision both blocks move in the same direction as the original motion of the large block, and fall off the edge of the table. The small block hits the floor at a point 2.18 meters horizontally from the edge of the table, while the large block hits the floor at a point 1.38 meters horizontally from the edge of the table. The top of the table is 1.10 m above the floor. Find the speed, in m/s, of the large block before the collision.
