A coconut of mass M with an explosive device is initially at rest on a frictionless floor. It then explodes into three pieces that slide across the floor as shown. Piece “C" has a mass of 0.30M (30% of the original mass) and a final velocity of 5m/s. What is the final speed of piece "B" with a mass 0.20M? What is the final speed of piece “A"?

In the figure below, a 3.1 kg box of running shoes slides on a horizontal frictionless table and collides with a 1.8 kg box of ballet slippers initially at rest on the edge of the table, at height = 0.40 m. The speed of the 3.1 kg box is 5.0 m/s just h before the collision. If the two boxes stick together because of packing tape on their sides, what is their kinetic energy just before they strike the floor? ។ h
oh railroad diesel engine coasting at 2.8 m/s runs into a stationary flat car. The diesel is four times more massive than the 1000kg flat car. Assuming the car is couple together how fast are they moving after the collision. Note: A Coupler holds railroad cars together so they move as one.
Hi, con you help me with this problem please? A mass M is released from a height H, it strikes a a mass m = 1.5M. If the impact is perfectly inelastic, find the maximum height the system gets and the energy loss in the collision. Thanks
A 100-kg particle moves with an initial velocity of (4.0i, - 6.0j) m/s. If its velocity changes to v = (3.0i – 8.0j) m/s by the action of a force, determine The net work done on the particle. What principle would you use to solve this problem? The impulse on the particle. True or False: Impulse is equal to the rate of change of momentum.
Mike then takes his now 1175 kg car and crashes it at 50 m/s into the back of a 1600 kg Jeep traveling at 10 m/s. They roll off together going 18 m/s. How much work was done by the crumple zone of Mike’s car? Just a short simple answer will suffice.

For Christmas you receive a new toy train engine of mass m1 = 1.0 kg. Playing around, youset your new toy going at 2.0 m/s, but you inadvertently cause a crash with another train of massm2 = 1.0 kg initially at rest. The crash converts 800 mJ of kinetic energy into sound and thermalenergy. What are the resulting velocities of the two trains after the collision?

a 600 gram banana sliding north on a frictionless table at 2.5 meters per second bounces of a 400 gram kiwi fruit that is initially at rest , after colliding the banana continues moving north at 0.5 meters per second. At the North edge of the track is a frictionless inclined ramp which the kiwi fruit slides up to then the kiwi comes back down the ramp , without losing energy , and will now be moving south , the kiwi will catch up and hit the banana again. How much momentum did the kiwi have just before the sticky collision ? how much just after ? how much did the kiwis momentum change ?
1.A charging bull elephant with a mass of 5240 kg comes directly toward you with a speed of 4.55 m/s. You toss a 0.150-kg rubber ball at the elephant with a speed of 7.81 m/s. (a)When the ball bounces back toward you, what is its speed? (b) How do you account for the fact that the ball’s kinetic energy has increased? Explain and draws.
