In a very busy off-campus eatery one chef sends a 211 g broccoli-tomato-pickle-onion-mushroom pizza sliding down the counter from left to right at 1.69 m/s. Almost simultaneously, the other chef launches a 345 g veggieburger (with everything, but hold the horseradish) along the same counter from right to left at 2.37 m/s. The two delicacies collide head on at the given speeds. The counter is practically friction free due to accumulated grease. The two delicacies merge into a single, unbelievably Savory serving.

A 7920 kg space probe, moving nose-first toward Jupiter at 108 m/s relative to the Sun, fires its rocket engine, ejecting 85.0 kg of exhaust at a speed of 255 m/s relative to the space probe. What is the final velocity of the probe?
One day a responsible young college student is driving his blue car (m = 931 kg) in an easterly direction and obeying the traffic laws with a leisurely velocity of v, = 12.12 m/s. Out of nowhere comes a crazed soccer mom driving her red minivan (M = 1261 kg) in a northerly direction at the insane velocity of V, = 21.81 m/s crashing straight into the innocent student. Their vehicles intertwine into a tangled pile of wreckage that eventually slides to a stop. We'll take the coefficient of friction to be: µk = 0.623. d%3? V2(wreckage) V2y=? v,(car) V=? V,(van) Not to scale The following summarizes the sequence of events occur: 1→ 2: The cars suffer an inelastic collision. • 2 → 3: The cars slide to a stop. Determine all the following: The x-component of the velocity of the wreckage immediately after the collision: V2x The y-component of the velocity of the wreckage immediately after the collision: V2y m/s The magnitude of the velocity of the wreckage immediately after the collision: V2 =…
An astronaut comes loose while outside the spacecraft and finds himself floating away from the spacecraft with only a big bag of tools. In desperation, the astronaut throws his bag of tools in the direction of his motion (away from the space station). The astronaut has a mass of 102 kg and the bag of tools has a mass of 10.0 kg. If the astronaut is moving away from the space station at 1.80 m/s initially, what is the minimum final speed of the bag of tools (with respect to the space station) that will keep the astronaut from drifting away forever? minimum final speed: m/s
An astronaut of mass 180 kgkg including his suit and jet pack (when the jet pack is FULL and no gas has been used yet) wants to acquire a velocity of 1.6 m/sm/s to move back toward his space shuttle.Assuming the jet pack can eject gas with a velocity of 60 m/sm/s , what mass of gas will need to be ejected?
In a very busy off-campus eatery one chef sends a 221 g broccoli-tomato-pickle-onion-mushroom pizza sliding down the counter from left to right at 1.59 m/s. Almost simultaneously, the other chef launches a 315 g veggieburger (with everything, but hold the horseradish) along the same counter from right to left at 2.27 m/s. The two delicacies collide head on at the given speeds. The counter is practically friction free due to accumulated grease. The two delicacies merge into a single, unbelievably savory serving. In what direction does the merged meal move, if it moves at all? a. to the right b. to the left c. does not move At what speed does it move in m/s? (positive number).
A 2000 kg car moving east at 10.0 m/s collides with a 3000 kg car moving north. The cars stick together and move as a unit after the collision at an angle of 40.0° north of east. Find (a) the speed of the two cars after the collision and (b) the speed of the 3000 kg car before the collision.
You put an antimatter explosive in a 133 kg space rock, initially moving to the right at 34 m/s. This time, upon detonation, the rock fractures into three pieces. A 16 kg chunk is observed to zip off to the right (the positive direction) at 60 m/s. A 69 kg chunk is observed to zip off to the left at 59 m/s. Calculate the final velocity of the third chunk, in m/s. (Please answer to the fourth decimal place - i.e 14.3225)
This amazing summer adventure is finally winding down with some pool. Unfortunately, this pool table is wonky and some of the balls are larger than the others! Anthony hits the cue ball (mass = 0.15 kg) and it moves at 5 m/s when it strikes head on into the number 3 ball (mass = 0.30 kg). After this inelastic collision, the cue ball moves off at 60 degrees relative to the +x axis and the number 3 ball moves off at -30 degrees relative to the +axis as shown. What were the speeds of the two balls after the collision?
Two blocks of masses M and 3M are placed on a horizontal, frictionless surface. A light spring is attached to one of them, and the blocks are pushed together with the spring between them. A cord holding them together is burned, after which the block of mass 3M moves to the right with a speed of 55.1 m/s. What is the speed of the block of mass M?
A steel ball of mass 0.5 kg is fastened to a cord that is 70.0 cm long and fixed at the far end. The ball is then released when the cord is horizontal. At the bottom of its path, the ball strikes a 2.5 kg steel block initially at rest on a frictionless surface. The collision is elastic. Find (a) the speed of the ball and (b) the speed of the block both just after the collision.
