A carnival game consists of a two masses on a curved frictionless track, as pictured below. The player pushes the larger object so that it strikes the stationary smaller object which then slides follows the curved track so that it rises vertically to a maximum height, hmax: The masses are equipped with elastic bumpers so that the impact between them is an elastic collision. If the larger object has a mass, M = 5.34 kg and the smaller object has a mass of m= 1.37 kg, then with what velocity, vo should the player release the larger object so that the smaller object just reaches the target maximum height of hmax = 3.0m above the horizontal portion of the track?

Block A of mass m = 1.48 kg moving on a horizontal plane with velocity of vj = 1.71 m/s collides with Block B of the same mass at rest before the collision. After the collision, Block A stops. What is the velocity of Block B Vf after collision? Assume there is no friction between the blocks and the horizontal plane. Keep three significant figures for the answer.
A 0.250 kg toy car moving with a speed of 0.820 m/s collides with a wall. The figure shows the force exerted on the car by the wall over the course of the collision. What is the magnitude of the velocity, or final speed, of the car after the collision? Force (N) 40- 0 0.01 Time (s) 0.02 final speed = 0.684 Attempt 4 Incorrect m/s
A cue ball initially moving at 4 m/s strikes a stationary eight ball of the same size and mass. After the collision, the cue ball’s final speed is 1 m/s. Find the cue ball’s angle θ with respect to its original line of motion. This is considered an elastic collision.
As shown in the figure below, two blocks (m1 and m2) are each released from rest at a height of h = 4.63 m on a frictionless track and when they meet on the horizontal section of the track they undergo an elastic collision. If m1 = 2.50 kg and m2 = 4.25 kg, determine the maximum heights (in m) to which they rise after the collision. Use the coordinate system shown in the figure. y1f=____m y2f=____m
A drunk driver in a 2100 kgkg car plows into a 2000 kgkg parked car with its brake set. Police measurements show that the two cars skid together a distance of 21 mm before stopping. If the effective coefficient of friction is 0.74, how fast was the drunk going just before the collision?
A 6.69 kg object is initially traveling in the positive x-direction at 9.2 m/s. It collides with a 6.65 kg object that is initially at rest. The two objects are in contact for just 13.5 ms. The collision is 1-dimensional and elastic. What is the average net force that acts on the 6.69 kg object during the 13.5 ms?
