As shown in the figure below, two blocks (m1 and m2) are each released from rest at a height of h = 3.53 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 = 4.15 kg,determine the maximum heights (in m) to which they rise after the collision. Use the coordinate system shown in the figure.

A 10.0-g marble slides to the left with a velocity of magnitude 0.400 m/s on the frictionless, horizontal surface of an icy New York sidewalk and has a head-on, elastic collision with a larger 30.0-g marble sliding to the right with a velocity of magnitude 0.200 m/s. Find the velocity of each marble (magnitude and direction) after the collision. (Since the collision is head-on, all the motion is along a line.) (b) Calculate the change in momentum (that is, the momentum after the collision minus the momentum before the collision) for each marble.
A billiard ball is moving in the x-direction at 30.0 cm/s and strikes another billiard ball moving in the y-direction at 40.0 cm/s. As a result of the collision, the first ball moves at 50.0 cm/s, and the second ball stops. What is the change in kinetic energy of the system as a result of the collision?

A billiard ball traveling at 5.00 m/s collides with an identical billiard ball initially at rest on the level table.

One object is at rest, and another is moving. The two collide in a one-dimensional, completely inelastic collision. In other words, they stick together after the collision and move off with a common velocity. Momentum is conserved. The speed of the object that is moving initially is 29 m/s. The masses of the two objects are 2.8 and 8.8 kg. Determine the final speed of the two-object system after the collision for the case (a) when the large-mass object is the one moving initially and the case (b) when the small-mass object is the one moving initially.
