In the figure, block 1 of mass m1 slides from rest along a frictionless ramp from height h = 2.9 m and then collides with stationary block 2, which has mass m2 = 2m1. After the collision, block 2 slides into a region where the coefficient of kinetic friction Mg is 0.2 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?

A 10.0-g marble slides to the left with a velocity of magnitude 0.400 m/s on the frictionless, horizontal surface of an icy New York sidewalk and has a head-on, elastic collision with a larger 30.0-g marble sliding to the right with a velocity of magnitude 0.200 m/s.

Car A and Car B are traveling in the same direction (call it ), with B behind A, and initial speeds vA=5.6 m/s, and vB = 6 m/s. The cars have identical mass m=103 kg, and they experience an elastic collision. Now, this collision is observed by a third person traveling in a car with constant velocity v=6 m/s, traveling in the same direction as the two cars.

The green disk is initially at rest and is struck by the orange disk moving initially to the right at vOi = 6.55 m/s as in Figure a, shown below. After the collision, the orange disk moves in a direction that makes an angle of θ = 38.0° with the horizontal axis while the green disk makes an angle of ϕ = 52.0° with this axis as in Figure b.
