A railroad car of mass 2.55 104 kg is moving with a speed of 3.94 m/s. It collides and couples with three other coupled railroad cars, each of the same mass as the single car and moving in the same direction with an initial speed of 1.97 m/s. (a) What is the speed of the four cars after the collision? (Round your answer to at least two decimal places.) (b) How much mechanical energy is lost in the collision?

The spring in the muzzle of a child’s spring gun has a spring constant of 700 N/m.To shoot a ball from the gun, first the spring is compressed and then the ball is placed on it.The gun’s trigger then releases the spring, which pushes the ball through the muzzle. The ball leaves the spring just as it leaves the outer end of the muzzle. When the gun is inclined upward by 30 to the horizontal, a 57 g ball is shot to a maximum height of 1.83 m above the gun’s muzzle. Assume air drag on the ball is negligible. (a) At what speed does the spring launch the ball? (b) Assuming that friction on the ball within the gun can be neglected, find the spring’s initial compression distance.

Marble A was released at a certain height of the ramp and hit Marble B on the horizontal end of the ramp. Both Marbles A and B weighs 5 grams. The horizontal distances covered by marbles A and B after the collision are 5 cm and 35 cm, respectively. The elevation from the edge of the ramp to the ground is 15cm. Assuming that energy and momentum are conserved, what is initial potential energy (in erg; erg = dyne.cm) of Marble A? Use g=980cm/s2. Round off your answer to two decimal places. Answer correctly, thank you.
Ronaldo is playing outside and shoots a ball of mass 2 kg horizontally with a speed of 8.0 m/s toward a green cart. The mass of the green cart is 15 kg and it rolls at a speed of 1.0 m/s along a horizontal path with no friction. The ball gets stuck in the card. What is the velocity of the cart after the ball strikes it? What are the initial and final kinetic energies of the system? Is the energy conserved in this collision process? What type of collision process is it?
