A block of mass m1 = 14 kg slides along a horizontal surface (with friction, μk = 0.27) a distance d = 2.5 m before striking a second block of mass m2 = 8.25 kg. The first block has an initial velocity of v = 9.75 m/s. Assuming that block one stops after it collides with block two, what is block two's velocity after impact in m/s? How far does block two travel, d2 in meters, before coming to rest after the collision?
An ball bearing of mass m rolls along a horizontal rail at velocity vo and strikes a stationary ball bearing of mass M, which then recoils with a velocity v1 after a perfectly elastic collision. By considering special cases for the relative values of m and M, you can determine which of the following expressions for v1 is correct. You should not need to solve equations for the whole system. v1 = v0 M/m v1 = 2 vo m/M v1= v0 m/(m+M) v1 = 2 vo m/(m+M)
