A 20.0 kg shell is moving East with a speed of 200. m/s when it explodes into three parts. One piece, of mass 10.0 kg, moves away from the point of explosion with a speed of 100. m/s North. A second fragment, of mass 4.00 kg moves west at a speed of 500. m/s. What is the final velocity of the third piece?

A ball named "Exploding kitten" initially at rest suddenly explodes into two parts. One, with mass of 1.26 kg has a resulting speed of 6.29 m/s relative to its original position. The other mass is moving at a speed of 13.31 m/s. What is its mass? Express your answer in two decimal places with units of kg. A 0.012-kg bullet is fired into a stationary block of wood of mass of 5.4 kg. The relative speed of the bullet with respect to the wood is zero after collision (The bullet becomes embedded on the block of wood). If the speed of the bullet before collision is 461 m/s, what is the kinetic energy of the bullet-plus-wood combination right after the collision? Assume no change in the potential energy of the system before and after the collision. Express your answer in two decimal places, in Joules. A car of mass 1,716 kg collides with a wall. The initial speed of the car is 18.6 m/s. After collision, the car bounced in the opposite direction at a speed of 3.3 m/s. If the collision lasted…
A ball of mass 0.34 kg moving with a speed of 2.7 m/s to the right collides head on with a 0.24 kg ball at rest. If the collision is elastic, what is the speed and direction of each ball after collision?
An 80 kg running back moving at 5.0 m/s attempts to dive directly across the goal line for a touchdown. Just as he reaches the line, he is met head-on in mid-air by two 75 kg linebackers both moving in the direction opposite the running back at 2.8 m/s. They all become entangled as one mass. What is the velocity of the football players often the collision?
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 0.031 kg bullet is fired vertically at 238 m/s into a 0.15 kg baseball that is initially at rest. How high does the combined bullet and baseball rise after the collision, assuming the bullet embeds itself in the ball?
A 98.0-kg parts cart with rubber bumpers rolling 1.20 m/s to the right crashes into a similar cart of mass 125 kg moving left at 0.750 m/s. After the collision, the lighter cart is traveling 0.986 m/s to the left. What is the velocity of the heavier cart after the collision?
A 9.7-g bullet is fired into a stationary block of wood having mass m = 5.10 kg. The bullet imbeds into the block. The speed of the bullet-plus-wood combination immediately after the collision is 0.606 m/s. What was the original speed of the bullet? (Express your answer with four significant figures.)
Two 503 g blocks of wood are 2.22 m apart on a frictionless table. A 10.84 g bullet is fired at 400 m/s toward the blocks. It passes all the way through the first block, then embeds itself in the second block. The speed of the first block immediately afterward is 5.04 m/s. What is the speed of the second block after the bullet stops in it?
A block of mass 1.15 kg is placed on a frictionless floor and initially pushed northward, whereupon it begins sliding with a constant speed of 3.78 m/s. It eventually collides with a second, stationary block, of mass 4.98 kg, head-on, and rebounds back to the south. The collision is 100% elastic. What will be the speeds of the 1.15-kg and 4.98-kg blocks, respectively, after this collision? 1.87 m/s and 1.89 m/s 1.89 m/s and 2.13 m/s 2.36 m/s and 1.42 m/s 1.42 m/s and 2.36 m/s
