Let a mass of 3.0 kg be standing still and a secondmass of 5.0 kg come along and hit it with velocity 4.0 m/s. Supposethe smaller mass moves off with a speed of 5.0 m/s.a) Draw a diagram to describe the situation before the collision.b) What is the velocity of the 5.0 Kg mass after the collision?c) Draw a diagram to describe the situation after the collision.d) What type of collision is it? Support your answer with calculations from Lawof Conservation of Momentum, and Law of Conservation of Energy.
true or false: 1. during an explosion, the total kinetic energy is always conserved 2. An impulse always goes in the same direction as the applied force. 3. during an explosion of an object the sum of the momentum of all fragments is equal to the momentum of the object before the explosion 4. The momentum of a system is always conserved even if an external force acts on the system. 5. Momentum is a vector quantity during a perfectly inelastic collision between two masses the two masses rebound after the collision.
1) A 100 g cart initially moving at +0.5 m/s collides elastically from a stationary 180 g cart. a) Using the equation in the theory, calculate the final velocity of the 100 g cart. b) Calculate the change in the momentum of the 100 g cart. c) Since this is an elastic collision, total momentum must be conserved. Using your answer for part b, calculate the final velocity of the 150 g cart.

B) Write Theoretical and Experimental formulas of “Fractional Energy Loss”.
Which of these statements are true? Explain why below: a) If an elastic collision occurs, then the change in total momentum is unpredictable. b) If an elastic collision occurs, then the total momentum is increased by the collision. c) If an elastic collision occurs, then the total momentum is decreased by the collision. d) If an elastic collision occurs, then the total momentum remains essentially unchanged by the collision.
