11 of 14 A 2 kg block is moving at v = 3 m/s along a frictionless table and collides with a second 2 kg block that is initially at rest. After the collision, the two blocks stick together and then slide up a 45° frictionless inclined plane, as shown in . 45° Part A Calculate the maximum distance L that the two blocks travel up the incline. Express your answer in meters. ΑΣφ ? L m
Problem 2: A 10 grams bullet moving at 800 m/sec hits 1000 grams block of wood and stays inside the block. The block had been originally at rest and is free to move. Immediately after the collision the block-bullet system starts to move up a ramp that is incline at 30 degrees. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the ramp surface is 0.30. How far up the ramp will the block and bullet system move after the collision before coming to rest?

A 0.250 kg toy car moving with a speed of 0.860 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?
As shown in the figure below, cars #1 and #2 are travelling across a horizontal surface. The cars are equipped with a coupling arrangement similar to the one on railroad cars. Car #1 overtakes car #2 and they have a totally inelastic collision and become coupled together. You know the mass of each car; m, = 14.5 kg and m, = 45.0 kg. In addition, you are provided with the following graph, which shows the momentum of car #1 before, during, and after the collision. Determine the velocity of car #2 before the collision. You may ignore friction and treat the wheels of the cars as massless. 922 You have been given the mass of car #1 and the graph provides you with the momentum of the car after the collision. See if you can use this information to determine the velocity of car #1 after the collision. Knowing the velocity of car #1 after the collision and also knowing that the two cars are coupled together, see if you can determine the velocity and hence momentum of car #2 after the collision.…
