Choose True if the information found on the statement is CORRECT and false if it is INCORRECT. True False The center of mass can be represented by a pair of coordinates. The units of Impulse (N s) and Momentum (kg m/s) the same. Center of mass and the centroid of an object are always in the same place. We can locate the center of mass of a system even though it is constantly changing. It is possible to have perfectly elastic collision. Prolonging the time of contact between two objects increases the force of impact. You can change an object's momentum without changing its mass or velocity The coefficient of restitution be negative. When the coefficient of restitution is equals 0, it means that the objects stick together after collision. Elastic collision means that there is a noticeable loss of kinetic energy before and after the collision.
A bullet flying horizontally hits a wooden block that is initially at rest on a frictionless, horizontal surface. The bullet gets stuck in the block, and the bullet–block system has a final speed vf. Find the final speed of the bullet–block system in terms of the mass of the bullet mb, the speed of the bullet before the collision vb, the mass of the block mwb, and the amount of thermal energy generated during the collision Eth.
Direction: Read and analyze the given problems. Solve each problem by showing your solution. Box the final answer (maximum of 5 significant figures). Note: Indicate the corresponding unit. A 5.00-g bullet is fired into a 900-g block of wood suspended as a ballistic pendulum. The combined mass swings up to a height of 8.00 cm. What was the kinetic energy of the bullet immediately before the collision?
A 1425 kg truck driving at 13.0 m/s collides elastically with a stationary 1175 kg car. If the car is traveling 14.25 m/s just after the collision, what is the velocity of the truck immediately after the collision? Assume that this is a perfectly elastic collision. Round your answer to the hundredths place. Final velocity of the truck = m/s
How do I solve this question
Can you please draw a body diagram and show me step by step on a picture please. Don't type on the website it's hard to understand, I would appreciate if you put a picture of how you were doing it. A 0.500 kg block is released from rest at the top of a frictionlesstrack 2.50 m above the top of the table. It then collides elasticallywith a 1.00 kg mass that is initially at rest on the table. (a)Determine the speeds of the two masses just after the collision. (b)How high up the track does the 0.500-Kg mass travel back after thecollision? [a) 2.3 m/s, 4.7 m/s, b) 0.28 m]
When an inelastic material is in a collision, (A) the work done to deform the material is equal to the work done to return the material to its original shape. B the work done to deform the material is equal to the increase in the system's total kinetic energy. C some of the work done to deform the material is converted to other forms of energy. No answer the work done to deform the material is equal to the work the material does to other objects in the E collision.
Which of these statements are true? Explain why below: a) If an elastic collision occurs, then the change in total momentum is unpredictable. b) If an elastic collision occurs, then the total momentum is increased by the collision. c) If an elastic collision occurs, then the total momentum is decreased by the collision. d) If an elastic collision occurs, then the total momentum remains essentially unchanged by the collision.

Question 8. In a classroom demonstration, two identical low-friction dynamics carts are pushed toward each other such that they are travelling at the same speed when they collide. Immediately after the collision the carts come to a complete stop. The teacher challenges his students to describe this collision. Some of the students' descriptions are provided below. I II III IV Student Descriptions of the Collision of Two Carts Before the collision occurs the carts have the same momentum. Before the collision occurs the carts have the same kinetic energy. This collision is an example of an elastic collision. This collision is an example of an inelastic collision. The descriptions that are appropriate for this collision are A. I and III B.
