A 46.0-kg skater is traveling due east at a speed of 2.60 m/s. A 66.0-kg skater is moving due south at a speed of 6.10 m/s. They collide and hold on to each other after the collision, managing to move off at an angle south of east, with a speed of vf. Find (a) the angle θ and (b) the speed vf, assuming that friction can be ignored.

Jack (mass 56.0 kg) is sliding due east with speed 8.00 m/s on the surface of a frozen pond. He collides with Jill (mass 49.0 kg), who is initially at rest. After the collision, Jack is traveling at 5.00 m/s in a direction 34.0 degrees north of east. Ignore friction. What is the magnitude of the Jill's velocity, after the collision, as she travels at an angle of 35.95 degrees south of east?
Block A, with a mass of 0.410 kg, is traveling north on a frictionless surface with a speed of 5.00 m/s. Block B, with a mass of 0.480 kg, travels west on the same surface until it collides with A. After the collision, the blocks move off together with a velocity of 3.13 m/s at an angle of 42.5° to the north of west. What was B’s speed just before the collision?
The figure shows a 0.3 kg baseball just before and just after it collides with a bat. Just before, the ball has velocity v₁ of magnitude 10.9 m/s and angle 0₁ = 30.9°. Just after, it is traveling directly upward with velocity 2 of magnitude 8.80 m/s. The duration of the collision is 1.30 ms. What are the (a) magnitude and (b) direction (relative to the positive direction of the x axis) of the impulse on the ball from the bat? What are the (c) magnitude and (d) direction of the average force on the ball from the bat?
A 6.0 kg car is sitting on a floating 10 kg container in a lake and initially at rest 1.2 m away from the park. If the cat jumps back to the park, what is the minimum recoil speed of the box in the opposite direction? Assume the water and air friction are negligble and the dog travels in projectile motion.
A rocket ship is travelling through space. The fuselage section has a mass of 505 kg. The Nose Cone (front end) section has a mass of 100 kg. The rocket is travelling at 52.0 m/s when the rocket engine stops and the two sections are separated by an explosion in such a way that they stay in a straight line. If the Nose Cone section (front end) continues forward at 98.0 m/s, determine the speed of the Fuselage section after the separation.
Object A traveling east at 8.47 m/s collides with object B traveling west at 2.43 m/s. Object A has mass 2.82 kg and object B has mass 8.24 kg. The collsion takes place in one dimension, and is totally inelastic. Taking east to be positive, find the velocity of object A (in m/s) after the collision.
Car A and Car B are traveling in the same direction (call it i^), with B behind A, and initial speeds vA=5.6 m/s, and vB = 6 m/s. The cars have identical mass m=103 kg, and they experience an elastic collision. Now, this collision is observed by a third person traveling in a car with constant velocity v=6 m/s, traveling in the same direction as the two cars. From the point of view of this person calculate the following: 1)The initial momentum of car A. 2)The initial momentum of car B. 3)The final momentum of car A (you might want to first calculate the final velocity of car A relative to the ground). 4)The final momentum of car B (you might want to first calculate the final velocity of car B relative to the ground). 5)The total final kinetic energy: 6)The total final kinetic energy as measured from the ground. 7)Based on the previous answers and your calculations of the total initial kinetic energy, does the third person conclude that the collision is:
Block 1, with mass m1 and speed 3.8 m/s, slides along an x axis on a frictionless floor and then undergoes a one-dimensional elastic collision with stationary block 2, with mass m2 = 0.34m1. The two blocks then slide into a region where the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.59; there they stop. How far into that region do (a) block 1 and (b) block 2 slide?
Two shuffleboard disks of equal mass, one orange and the other green, are involved in a perfectly elastic glancing collision. The green disk is initially at rest and is struck by the orange disk moving initially to the right at Voi = 7.40 m/s as in Figure a, shown below. After the collision, the orange disk moves in a direction that makes an angle of 0 = 40.0° with the horizontal axis while the green disk makes an angle of ø = 50.0° with this axis as in Figure b. Determine the speed of each disk after the collision. Vof = m/s V gf m/s After the collision of Before the collision a た。
