Two carts are on a frictionless, level track. Cart A, on the left side of the track, has a mass mA= 1.25kg, and an initial velocity of vAi= 9.0m/s to the right. Cart B is initially at rest, and on the right side of the track. The carts collide in a perfectly elastic collision. a) Draw a picture of the system before the collision.

One object is at rest, and another is moving. The two collide in a one-dimensional, completely inelastic collision. In other words, they stick together after the collision and move off with a common velocity. Momentum is conserved. The speed of the object that is moving initially is 21 m/s. The masses of the two objects are 2.7 and 7.8 kg. Determine the final speed of the two-object system after the collision for the case (a) when the large-mass object is the one moving initially and the case (b) when the small-mass object is the one moving initially. (a) vf = (b) vf =

Find the linear momentum of each car before and after the collision if it is a perfectly inelastic collision. Find the kinetic energy before and after the collision if is perfectly inelastic.

Before Bounce After Bounce +y → +X A ball is thrown toward the ground. The figure shows the direction of the ball before it reaches the ground and the direction of the ball after it bounces off the ground. After the bounce, the ball leaves the ground with the same speed that it had before the bounce. The angle between the ground and the ball's direction of travel is 0o before and after the ball bounces off the ground. The positive directions are indicated in the figure. (a) Each grid below represents a component of the change in momentum of the ball as a result of the bounce. On each grid, draw a vector arrow to indicate the direction and relative magnitude of the change in momentum of the ball as a result of the bounce. If there is no change in momentum for a given component, write "NO CHANGE" under the corresponding grid. Horizontal Component Vertical Component FーF
