In an controlled explosion at a bomb range, experimenters detonate a 10 kg bomb while it is moving toward the North with a velocity of 4.0 m/s. The bomb explodes into three fragments: a 5.0-kg fragment moves 8.0 m/s [West]; a 4.0-kg fragment moves with a velocity of 10 m/s [East]; There is also a third fragment with a mass of 1.0 kg. What is the velocity of the third fragment? (Neglect air friction.) a) 4.0 m/s [North] b) 40 m/s [North] c) 4.47 m/s [North27West] d) 14 m/s [North27West]

A large fish with mass 4.9 kg suddenly accelerates to a velocity 3.3 m/s to the right to gobble up a small fish with mass 0.4 kg swimming also to the right at 0.8 m/s. Immediate after the meal, how fast is the large fish? Assume the large fish didn't swallow much water.
John is in a lab performing an experiment on collision. John takes a 3.0 kg car and sets it moving right with a speed of 1.0 m/s. This car collides with a second car of mass 6.0 kg that John has given a speed of 3.0 m/s left. After the collision, John notes the 3.0 kg car is moving 1.0 m/s left. From this, what would John observe as the velocity of the 6.0 kg car? A. 2.0 m/s to the right B. 0.80 m/s to the left C. 0.80 m/s to the right D. zero m/s E. 2.0 m/s to the left

A 2,800 kg truck jumps the median and clobbers a 940 kg station wagon in a head-on collision. You are tasked with determining the truck's initial speed for insurance purposes. An observer states that the station wagon was traveling at a speed of 25.1 m/s and that after the collision, the two vehicles stuck together and were moving at a speed of 24.4 m/s in the direction the truck was originally moving. What was the truck's original speed?

Vlad is fishing in his kayak with his gun. He loses his paddles, but is loaded up with plenty of ammo. If Vlad (60 kg) and the kayak 18 kg are at rest, how many bullets (7.97 grams each) must Vlad fire (at a muzzle velocity of 716.3 m/s) to propel his kayak to a velocity of 4 m/s? (Solve for the total mass of bullets first and then determine the amount.)
A block of mass mm = 16 kgkg has a speed VV and is behind a block of mass MM = 65 kgkg that has a speed of 0.5 m/sm/s. The surface is frictionless. The blocks collide and couple. After the collision, the blocks have a common speed of 0.9 m/sm/s. In the figure, the loss of kinetic energy of the blocks due to the collision is closest to: 7.7 J 25 J 26 J 9.3 J 76 J

10. A mass of 30-kg travels in the positive x-direction with a speed of 10-m/s. It then collides with a 15-kg mass that is initially at rest. If 100 Joules of kinetic energy is lost during the collision, what is the velocity of each mass after they collide?
