In collision A, the ball hit the block of wood and bounced back to the left with the same speed. The initial and final velocities were both perpendicular to the surface of the block. In collision B, the ball hit the block with a velocity that was not perpendicular to the surface of the block. The ball bounced back to the left with a velocity that made the same angle with the surface of the block. The initial and final speeds of the ball were the same as in collision A. In collision C, the ball hit the block and lost all of its speed, thus dropping to the base of the block of wood (and remaining there at rest). In collision D, the ball knocked the block down and the ball continued to the right at a reduced speed. Again, the initial speed of the ball was the same in each collision. In which collision, A through D, was the magnitude of the change in momentum of the ball the greatest? D It is impossible to know without more information.

Suppose you have two pucks on flat ice. Puck A has mass 0.150kg and puck B has mass 0.110kg. The coefficient of kinetic friction on the ice for pucks is 0.040. Puck B is initially at rest. Puck A hits puck B head-on (don't assume elastic though). If after the collision puck A slides 18m and puck B slides 30m, what was puck A's initial velocity right before the collision?

A billiard player sends the cue ball toward a group of three balls that are initially at rest and in contact with one another. After the cue ball strikes the group, the four balls scatter, each traveling in a different direction with different speeds as shown in the figure below. If each ball has the same mass, 0.16 kg, determine the total momentum of the system consisting of the four balls immediately after the collision. (Assume v1 = 0.33 m/s, ?1 = 70°, v2 = 0.49 m/s, ?2 = 30°, v3 = 0.23 m/s, v4 = 0.48 m/s.)
One block of mass m_1=2.0 kg is sliding down along a frictionless ramp from a height of h=2.5 m. It then collides with another block of mass m_2=1 kg and after the collision the stick together. Then, both of the blocks slide together into a region where the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.500 and comes to a stop after distance d m within that region. a. Find the velocity of the block of mass m1 at the bottom of the ramp. b. Find the velocity of the two-block at which they slide into the region with kinetic friction coefficient 0.500. c. Find the value of distance d at which they stop
Problem 2: A 10 grams bullet moving at 800 m/sec hits 1000 grams block of wood and stays inside the block. The block had been originally at rest and is free to move. Immediately after the collision the block-bullet system starts to move up a ramp that is incline at 30 degrees. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the ramp surface is 0.30. How far up the ramp will the block and bullet system move after the collision before coming to rest?

You're playing pool and you line up a shot on the 3 ball. You want the 3 ball to be deflected by an angle o3=25 degrees at a velocity v3=1.3 m/s so that it will make it into a side pocket. What initial velocity must you give the cue ball in order to make this shot and what will be the velocity and angle of the cue ball following the collision? Recall that the mass of a cue ball is 0.17 kg and the mass of a 3 ball is 0.16 kg.
In the figure, block number 1 has a mass of 2 kg and block number 2 has a mass of 5 kg. The surface is frictionless and the spring constant k = 1120 N / m ‘. Objects move to the right at the speeds given in the figure. When the collision occurs after a while, the compression in the spring becomes maximum when the blocks have the same speed. What is the maximum compression of the spring?
