2. After a perfectly inelastic collision between two objects of equal mass, each having initial speed v, the two move off together with speed u/3. What was the angle between their initial directions? Note: a perfectly inelastic collision is defined as one where the colliding objects stick together and move with the same velocity afterwards.

2) A 100 g cart initially moving at +0.5 m/s collides inelastically with a stationary 180 g cart. The two carts stick together after the collision and move as one. a) Using the fact that total momentum is conserved, calculate the final velocity of the two carts (which are magnetically attached to each other) after the collision. (Start this by first calculating the total momentum, which initially is simply the momentum of the 100g cart.) b) Calculate the total initial kinetic energy. (This is the sum of the initial kinetic energies of both carts.) c) Calculate the total final kinetic energy. d) Calculate the change in the total kinetic energy as a result of the collision.

1. In beta decay, an atomic nucleus emits an electron as it turns into another type of nucleus. A 2¹⁰Bi nucleus at rest decays to 210Po. Suppose the emitted electron moves to the right with momentum 5.60 x 10-22 kg m/s. The 210Po nucleus, with mass 3.50 x 10-25 kg, recoils to the left at a speed of 1.14 x 10³ m/s. Momentum conservation requires that a second particle, called an antineutrino, must also be emitted. Calculate the magnitude and direction of the antineutrino's momentum. 210PO 210Bi Before After e ?

The following question concerns a collision in outer space, far enough from any planets so that the external forces can be considered as negligible. An unmanned spacecraft, having mass 1,500,000 kg and speed 25,000 km/hr collides with a small meteor, having mass 3,000 kg and speed 2,100 km/hr, in the Kuiper belt. a. Prior to the collision, what are the total kinetic energy and total momentum? b. Assuming a head-on collision, in which the meteor becomes lodged into the spacecraft’s body and the two objects move off together, what are the total kinetic energy and momentum after the collision? c. If instead of getting lodged into the spacecraft, the meteor bounced off, would the change in the space craft’s momentum be larger or smaller, or is there not enough information to tell? Explain.

There are (one can say) three coequal theories of motion for a single particle: Newton's second law, stating that the total force on the particle causes its acceleration; the work-kinetic energy theorem, stating that the total work on the particle causes its change in kinetic energy; and the impulse-momentum theorem, stating that the total impulse on the particle causes its change in momentum. In this problem, you compare predictions of the three theories in one particular case. A 3.00-kg object has velocity 7.00ĵ m/s. Then, a constant net force 12.0i N acts on the object for 5.00 s.
