If one piece, with mass m1, ends up moving to the right after the explosion, then as shown in the figure below, the second piece, with mass m2, could end up (a) moving to the right, (b) moving to the left, or (c) at rest.

Two manned satellites approaching one another, at a relative speed of 0.250 m/s, intending to dock. The first has a mass of 4.00×103kg , and the second a mass of 7.50×103kg . (a) Calculate the final velocity (after docking) by using the frame of reference in which the first satellite was originally at rest. (b) What is the loss of kinetic energy in this inelastic collision? (c) Repeat both parts by using the frame of reference in which the second satellite was originally at rest. Explain why the change in velocity is different in the two frames, whereas the change in kinetic energy is the same in both.
A stone is dropped at t = 0. A second stone, with 3 times the mass of the first, is dropped from the same point at t = 98 ms. (a) How far below the release point is the center of mass of the two stones at t = 300 ms? (Neither stone has yet reached the ground.) (b) How fast is the center of mass of the two-stone system moving at that time?
A projectile with a mass m = 200 kg and a velocity v = 100 m s−1 is fired at an angle of ϕ = 60 ◦ . At the highest point of its trajectory, it explodes and breaks into three pieces with the same mass. Two pieces have the same velocity magnitude as the projectile shortly before the explosion. One of those two pieces moves vertically downwards, and the other moves horizontally forward. a) Compute the velocity of the third piece right after the explosion. b) What was the released energy of the explosion?
Under many conditions, the center of mass of a system of particles can represent the system as a whole. But how far does this rule extend? Consider two identical particles traveling toward each other at the same speed. By examining this system, choose the correct response. 1)The momentum and kinetic energy of the center of mass is equivalent to that of the system of particles. 2)The kinetic energy, but not the momentum, of the center of mass is equivalent to that of the system of particles. 3)Neither the momentum nor the kinetic energy of the center of mass is equivalent to that of the system of particles. 4)The momentum, but not the kinetic energy, of the center of mass, is equivalent to that of the system of particles.
A 0.8 kg block of wood is sliding across a floor at 2 m/s when a half-gram nail from a nail gun travelling 67 m/s horizontally at an angle 35° relative to the direction of the block embeds itself into the wood. (So, the 35° angle is with respect to the x-axis, with x and y both being in the horizontal plane.) (a) What would be the velocity of the block/nail system just after impact? Find also the magnitude and direction of the velocity. Assume that the impact is so fast that friction between the block and the floor can be ignored. (b) How much energy was lost during this collision?
A billiard ball moving at 5.45 m/s strikes a stationary ball of the same mass. After the collision, the first ball moves at 4.90 m/s, at an angle of 26° with respect to the original line of motion.

Two manned satellites approaching one another at a relative speed of 0.450 m/s intend to dock. The first has a mass of 4.50 ✕ 103 kg, and the second a mass of 7.50 ✕ 103 kg. If the two satellites collide elastically rather than dock, what is their final relative velocity? Adopt the reference frame in which the second satellite is initially at rest and assume that the positive direction is directed from the second satellite towards the first satellite.m/s
A car of mass 735 kg traveling at a velocity of 30 m/s in the positive x-direction crashes into the rear of a truck of mass 1,480 kg that is at rest and in neutral at an intersection. If the collision is inelastic and the truck moves forward at 13.5 m/s, what is the velocity of the car after the collision? (Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer. Assume the collision is head-on so that the motion of both vehicles remains entirely along the x-direction) m/s Submit Answer
Mass 1, which is 30 kg, is 10 meters east and 20 meters north of a reference point. Mass 2, which is 40 kg, is 5.0 meters east and 8.0 meters south of the reference point. And mass 3, which is 50 kg, is 20 meters due west of the reference point. With respect to the reference point, what is the center-of-mass position of the three masses?
