A 2,800 kg truck jumps the median and clobbers a 940 kg station wagon in a head-on collision. You are tasked with determining the truck's initial speed for insurance purposes. An observer states that the station wagon was traveling at a speed of 25.1 m/s and that after the collision, the two vehicles stuck together and were moving at a speed of 24.4 m/s in the direction the truck was originally moving. What was the truck's original speed?
A block of mass mm = 16 kgkg has a speed VV and is behind a block of mass MM = 65 kgkg that has a speed of 0.5 m/sm/s. The surface is frictionless. The blocks collide and couple. After the collision, the blocks have a common speed of 0.9 m/sm/s. In the figure, the loss of kinetic energy of the blocks due to the collision is closest to: 7.7 J 25 J 26 J 9.3 J 76 J
10. A mass of 30-kg travels in the positive x-direction with a speed of 10-m/s. It then collides with a 15-kg mass that is initially at rest. If 100 Joules of kinetic energy is lost during the collision, what is the velocity of each mass after they collide? (assume they rebound) Answer: 30-kg mass= 3.69-m/s and the 15-kg mass= 12.6-m/s, both in the +x-direction

A 5 kg blob of clay is moving forward at 2 m/s when it has an inelastic collision with a 2kg blob of clay initially at rest. What will be the final velocity of the two blobs after they stick together?
There is a large crater in Arizona called Meteor Crater. It is estimated that it was formed about 20,000 years ago by a meteorite that had a mass of about 5 x 10^10 kg and was traveling at a speed of 7.5 km/sec. How fast could this meteorite have hit the Earth (whose mass is 6 x 10^24 kg) if we assume a head-on collision?
