In Figure (1), a 3.50 g bullet is fired horizontally at two blocks at rest on a frictionless table. The bullet passes through block 1 (mass 1.11 kg) and embeds itself in block 2 (mass 1.62 kg). The blocks end up with speeds v₁ = 0.600 m/s and v₂ = 1.50 m/s (see Figure (2)). Neglecting the material removed from block 1 by the bullet, find the speed of the bullet as it (a) leaves and (b) enters block 1. Frictionless (a) Number (b) Number Units Units (1) (2)
A toy car having mass m = 1.50 kg collides inelastically with a toy train of mass M = 3.60 kg. Before the collision, the toy train is moving in the positive x-direction with a velocity of Vi = 2.35 m/s and the toy car is also moving in the positive x-direction with a velocity of vi = 4.60 m/s. Immediately after the collision, the toy car is observed moving in the positive x-direction with a velocity of 1.90 m/s. Determine the change ΔKE in the total kinetic energy. Assume friction and the rotation of the wheels are not important so that they do not affect ΔKE. ------ joules
