"a 1-kg lump of clay traveling at 1 m/s on a frictionless surface, smashes into a 5-kg lump of clay, which is initially not moving. they stick and become one 6-kg lump. a) what is their final speed and b) what percentage, if any, of the initial kinetic energy gets lost (likely turned into heat and sound) during collision?" I'm able to solve part a, I get an answer of 0.17 m/s, but how do I solve part b?
Mechanic Physics: Please make sure this is right In the figure, a ball of mass m = 56 g is shot with speed vi = 23 m/s (in the negative direction of an x axis) into the barrel of a spring gun of mass M = 263 ginitially at rest on a frictionless surface. The ball sticks in the barrel at the point of maximum compression of the spring. Assume that the increase in thermal energy due to friction between the ball and the barrel is negligible. (a) What is the speed of the spring gun after the ball stops in the barrel? (b)What fraction of the initial kinetic energy of the ball is stored in the spring?
Consider the table. Vehicle 1 Vehicle 2 Vehicle 3 Vehicle 4 Mass (kg) 1000 2000 1000 2000 Velocity (m/s) 20 20 40 40 Kinetic energy (kJ) 200 400 800 1600 The table shows data collected for some vehicles on the road. What conclusion can be drawn about the relationship between mass, velocity, and kinetic energy? Answer Choices: a. If only the mass of the vehicle doubles, the kinetic energy increases by a factor of four. b. If both the mass and the velocity of the vehicle double, the kinetic energy will increase by a factor of eight. c. If only the velocity of the vehicle doubles, the kinetic energy will double. d. If both the mass and the velocity of the vehicle double, the kinetic energy will increase by a factor of four.
this is a multi step problem but I am just having trouble with this part of the problem. Here are the values that I correctly calculated: mass of particle 1=6 kg initial velocity for particle 1= 185i+138j final velocity for particle 1= -68.89i+-50.67j F21=-15.9e-t/96i+-100sin(2πt/96)j I am trying to find: What is the x displacement for particle 1? I think that I need to use Newtons second law to get an expression for acceleration, and then integrate but I am not getting the right answers.
Particle A and particle B are held together with a compressed spring between them. When they are released, the spring pushes them apart, and they then fly off in opposite directions, free of the spring. The mass of A is 4.00 times the mass of B, and the energy stored in the spring was 46 J. Assume that the spring has negligible mass and that all its stored energy is transferred to the particles. Once that transfer is complete, what are the kinetic energies of each particle? (a) particle A --------- J(b) particle B --------- J
The Moon's craters are remnants of meteorite collisions. Suppose a fairly large asteroid that has a mass of 5.06 ✕ 1012 kg (about a kilometer across) strikes the Moon at a speed of 14.8 km/s. A. How much kinetic energy (in J) is lost in the collision? Such an event may have been observed by medieval English monks who reported observing a red glow and subsequent haze about the Moon. B. In October 2009, NASA crashed a rocket into the Moon, and analyzed the plume produced by the impact. (Significant amounts of water were detected.) Answer part (a) and (b) for this real-life experiment. The mass of the rocket was 2000 kg and its speed upon impact was 9000 km/h. speed of recoin (in m/s) loss of kinetic energy (in J)

A) In the absence of air resistance, what is the optimal angle for firing the shell? Using your answer, how far would the shell travel? Assume the shell was launched and landed at the same height? B) How long was the shell in the air? C) What is the velocity (Magnitute and Direction) of the shell at the top of its trajectory?
A railroad freight car of mass 2.84 x 10ª kg collides with a stationary caboose car. They couple together, and 36.0% of the initial kinetic energy is transferred to thermal energy, sound, vibrations, and so on. Find the mass of the caboose. Number i Units
In the four momentum treatment of relativistic particle collisions or decays, The mass of a particle is different for various observers. O Momentum and energy are still conserved in any inertial frame of reference. O The energy equals the sum of the momentum, pc, plus the mass, mc2. O The momentum and energy for a process are the same in all frames of reference.

You plan to take a trip to the moon. Since you do not have a traditional spaceship with rockets, you will need to leave the earth with enough speed to make it to the moon. Some information that will help during this problem: mearth = 5.9742 x 1024 kgrearth = 6.3781 x 106 mmmoon = 7.36 x 1022 kgrmoon = 1.7374 x 106 mdearth to moon = 3.844 x 108 m (center to center)G = 6.67428 x 10-11 N-m2/kg2 1) On your first attempt you leave the surface of the earth at v = 5534 m/s. How far from the center of the earth will you get? 2) Since that is not far enough, you consult a friend who calculates (correctly) the minimum speed needed as vmin = 11068 m/s. If you leave the surface of the earth at this speed, how fast will you be moving at the surface of the moon? Hint carefully write out an expression for the potential and kinetic energy of the ship on the surface of earth, and on the surface of moon. Be sure to include the gravitational potential energy of the earth even when the ship is…
