The stone, which has a mass of 0.16 kg, slides across the horizontal frozen pond. When it has a speed 2.0 m s-¹ it hits a lump of ice which is initially at rest, and the two join together without loss of mass. The ice and stone combined continue in the stone's direction of travel with a speed of 0.81 m s-¹. (i) Calculate the mass of the lump of ice. (ii) Is the collision elastic or inelastic?

Two cars collide at an icy intersection and stick together afterward. The first car has a mass of 1750 kg and was approaching at 7.00 m/s due south. The second car has a mass of 900 kg and was approaching at 19.0 m/s due west. (a)Calculate the final velocity (magnitude in m/s and direction in degrees counterclockwise from the west) of the cars. (Note that since both cars have an initial velocity, you cannot use the equations for conservation of momentum along the x-axis and y-axis; instead, you must look for other simplifying aspects.) magnitude _______________ m/s direction ° _________________ counterclockwise from west (b)How much kinetic energy (in J) is lost in the collision? (This energy goes into deformation of the cars.) ________________________ J
