In Figure (1), a 3.50 g bullet is fired horizontally at two blocks at rest on a frictionless table. The bullet passes through block 1 (mass1.11 kg) and embeds itself in block 2 (mass 1.69 kg). The blocks end up with speeds v1 = 0.530 m/s and v2 = 1.36 m/s (see Figure (2)).Neglecting the material removed from block 1 by the bullet, find the speed of the bullet as it (a) leaves and (b) enters block 1.Frictionless(1)----------- ---E--(2)(a) NumberiUnits(b) NumberiUnits

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 180-g billiard ball is shot toward an identical ball at velocity vi = 6.90 m/s. The identical ball is initially at rest. After the balls hit, one of them travels with velocity v1, f = (1.80 + 2.22) m/s. What is the velocity of the second ball after the impact? Ignore effects of friction during this process. (Express your answer in vector form.) v2, f = m/s
(Note: Please be careful with roundoff error in this problem.) The drawing shows a collision between two pucks on an air-hockey table. Puck A has a mass of 2.7 kg and is moving along the x axis with a velocity of +5.5 m/s. It makes a collision with puck B, which has a mass of 6.7 kg and is initially at rest.

Consider two hockey pucks, each with mass 1.25 kg, on frictionless ice. Puck A is initially moving due east at 2.35 m/s towards puck B, which is initially stationary. The pucks collide head on. After the collision, puck B moves east with a speed of 1.45 m/s. (a) What is puck A's speed (in m/s) after collision? What direction is it moving in? (b) How much kinetic energy (in Joules) is lost from the system during the collision? (c) If the collision were completely elastic, what would the final speed and direction of each puck be?
