A 0.014-kg bullet is fired into a stationary block of wood of mass of 4.51 kg. The relative speed of the bullet with respect to the wood is zero after collision (The bullet becomes embedded in the block of wood). What is the speed of the bullet-plus-wood combination immediately after collision if the speed of the bullet before collision is 476 m/s? Express your answer in two decimal places and with units of m/s.

A 13.8 kg block is sliding along a frictionless surface with a speed of 95.7 m/s. It collides with a second block of mass 93.1 kg. The second block is initially at rest. After the collision, the first block has rebounded with a speed of 26.1 m/s. If this collision is one dimensional, what is the speed in (m/s) of the second block after the collision?
A body with mass of 5 kg is moving at a speed of 2 m/s and collides inelastically with another body with mass of 3 kg that stayed at rest before the collision. What speed will the bodies have after the collision?
Two billiard balls of identical mass move toward each other as shown in the figure. Assume that the collision between them is perfectly elastic. If the initial velocities of the balls are v1i = +34.3 cm/s and v2i = −20.1 cm/s, what are the velocities of the balls after the collision? Assume friction and rotation are unimportant. (Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.) v1f = cm/s v2f = cm/s
It is generally a good idea to gain an understanding of the size of units. Consider each object and calculate the magnitude of their momentum in SI units. A ladybug with mass 28.50 milligrams flies by your head at 3.75 km/h. magnitude of the momentum: kg-m/s A 37.90 km boy walks at 4.05 km/h. magnitude of the momentum: kg-m/s A car with mass 841 kg is moving at a speed of 41.3 km/h. magnitude of the momentum: kg-m/s
If a cart of mass 350 grams moving at speed of 4.5 m/s hits an end-stop and rebounds at a speed of 3.2 m/s, what is the change in momentum, in units of kg.m/s? A cart has the rubber bumper attached to the force sensor, and it moves and collides with an end-stop. In the collision, it suffers a change in momentum = 4.05 kg.m/s, and the time during which the collision takes place is 0.182 seconds. Calculate the average force applied on the cart by the bumper, in newtons.
