ANSWER THE QUESTION AND EXPLAIN/SHOW YOUR WORK A 5.4 kg ball of blue clay is observed moving at 0.64 m/s aimlessly through space (as seen bya nearby alien spacecraft) and collides and sticks to a 2.3 kg ball of red clay that is initially atrest (relative to the aliens). The two balls of clay stick together and coast off together. Whatspeed to the aliens observe the purple clay moving away at?

Two identical particles, each of mass 1 000 kg, are coasting in free space along the same path, one in front of the other by 20.0 m.

An observer in a rocket moves toward a mirror at speed v relative to the reference frame labeled by S in Figure P1.30. The mirror is stationary with respect to S. A light pulse emitted by the rocket travels toward the mirror and is reflected back to the rocket. The front of the rocket is a distance d from the mirror (as measured by observers in S) at the moment the light pulse leaves the rocket. What is the total travel time of the pulse as measured by observers in (a) the S frame and (b) the front of the rocket? Figure P1.30
An astronaut, of total mass 85.0 kg including her suit, stands on a spherical satellite of mass 375 kg, both at rest relative a nearby space station. She jumps at a speed of 2.56 m/s directly away from the satellite, as measured by an observer in the station. At what speed does that observer measure the satellite traveling in the opposite direction? (See Section 6.2.)

Q.12. Consider two particles of masses m, = m and m2 = 3m moving with initial velocities Vii +1 m/s and v2i = -1 m/s along the same direction. The two %3D particles collide head-on elastically, and then leave the collision site with different velocities, v1f and var. The final velocities immediately after collision are: a. Vif = -2 m/s; v2f = 0 m/s %3D b. Vif = 0 m/s; V2f = 0.5 m/s c. Vif = -2.5 m/s; v2r = 0.5 m/s 3 m d. Vif = -4 m/s; v2f = 0 m/s
