Two spheres collide on a horizontal surface (all velocities, before and after the collision, are in the x-y plane). Throughout this problem, assume that all forces aside from those exerted by the spheres themselves are negligible (at least in comparison). Sphere A has a mass of 0.65 grams. It has an initial speed of 6.0 m/s and an initial velocity that is oriented at an angle of θ A i = 28 degrees below the x-axis. Sphere B has a mass of 0.45 grams. It has an initial speed of 6.5 m/s and an initial velocity that is oriented at an angle of θ B i = 35 degrees above the x-axis. After the collision, sphere A has a speed of 3.5 m/s and a velocity that is directed at an angle of θ A f = 16 degrees above the x-axis. What is the final speed, in units of meters per second, of sphere B?
A man walks up to you and hands you an energy drink with mass 0.4 kg. You decide energy drinks aren't for you and throw it on the ground. At the moment the energy drink leaves your hand, it is moving downwards with a speed of 7 m/s and is 1 meter above the ground. Calculate the speed of the energy drink in m/s just before it impacts the ground. As before, assume g = 10 m/s^2. You may neglect air friction. Round your answer to one decimal place.
A bullet of mass mb is fired horizontally with speed vi at a wooden block of mass mw resting on a frictionless table. The bullet hits the block and becomes completely embedded within it. After the bullet has come to rest relative to the block, the block, with the bullet in it, is traveling at speed uf.

In the figure below, particle 1 of mass m, = 0.21 kg slides rightward along an x axis on a frictionless floor with a speed of 2.4 m/s. When it reaches x = 0, it undergoes a one-dimensional elastic collision with stationary particle 2 of mass m2 = 0.40 kg. When particle 2 then reaches a wall at xw = 70 cm, bounces from it with no loss of speed. At what position on the x axis does particle 2 the collide with particle 1? cm 02 x (cm)
The mass of a regulation tennis ball is 57 g (although it can vary slightly), and tests have shown that the ball is in contact with the tennis racket for 30 ms.(This number can also vary, depending on the racket and swing.) We shall assume a 30.0 ms contact time. One of the fastest-known served tennis balls was served by “Big Bill” Tilden in 1931, and its speed was measured to be 73 m/s. Suppose that the positive direction of the x-axis is along the direction of motion of the ball after Big Bill's hit. What is the x-component of the force exerted by Big Bill on the tennis ball in his record serve? If Big Bill's opponent returned his serve with a speed of 55 m/s what is the x-component of the force he exerted on the ball, assuming only horizontal motion?
In the figure below, particle 1 of mass m, = 0.26 kg slides rightward along an x axis on a frictionless floor with a speed of 1.8 m/s. When it reaches x = 0, it undergoes a one-dimensional elastic collision with stationary particle 2 of mass m, = 0.40 kg. When particle 2 then reaches a wall at xw = 70 cm, it bounces from it with no loss of speed. At what position on the x axis does particle 2 then collide with particle 1? cm 02 +x (сm)
In the figure, block 1 of mass m1 slides from rest along a frictionless ramp from height h and then collides with stationary block 2, which has mass m2 = 3m1. After the collision, block 2 slides into a region where the coefficient of kinetic friction is μk and comes to a stop in distance d within that region. What is the value of distance d if the collision is (a) elastic and (b) completely inelastic? Express your answer in terms of the variables given and g.
A particle of mass m = 1.1 kg and initial velocity v0 = 13 m/s directly to the right, strikes an initially stationary particle of mass M = 17.5 kg. The collision is inelastic. Afterwards, particle m is observed moving at a speed v = 4.5 m/s, at an angle θ = 59° from its initial direction of motion, and particle M is observed moving at a speed V, as shown in the figure. - What happens to V as v → 0? V → ∞ V → 0 V → (m/M)v0 V remains unchanged. -Write an expression for V as v0 → 0. You may assume terms like v0/v vanish. -Write an expression for V if θ = 0. Assume the balls do not stick together. -Write an expression for V if θ = 180°.
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?
