Nate the Skate was an avid physics student whose main non-physics interest in life was high-speed skateboarding. In particular, Nate would often don a protective suit of Bounce-Tex, which he invented, and after working up a high speed on his skateboard, would collide with some object. In this way, he got a gut feel for the physical properties of collisions and succeeded in combining his two passions.* On one occasion, the Skate, with a mass of 119 kg, including his armor, hurled himself against a 887 kg stationary statue of Isaac Newton in a perfectly elastic linear collision. As a result, Isaac started moving at 1.63 m/s and Nate bounced backward. What were Nate's speeds immediately before and after the collision? (Enter positive numbers). Ignore friction with the ground.

You are standing at a stop light waiting to cross the street when you witness a collision. A 2,300 kg Ford F150 truck collides head on with a 1,300 kg Toyota Corolla. The Ford F150 is moving to the right immediately before the collision and the Corolla is initially moving to the left. The two vehicles have the same initial speed and vehicles stick together after the collision. A. What type of collision is this? B. Which vehicle will experience the greater change in momentum? C. Which vehicle will experience the greater acceleration?
At a carnival game, two balls are Identical in mass and radius, but one is made of steel and one is made of rubber. The game is to throw them at a bowling pin and try to knock it over. If the balls are thrown with the same speed and hit the same spot on the bowling pin, which Is more likely to knock it over? A. The steel ball B. Without knowing more information, this cannot be answered. C. Both are equally likely since they have the same momentum D. The rubber ball

Jill threw a dodgeball completely horizontal in x-direction with velocity of +5 m/s and mass of .5 kg. At the same time her friend threw a dodgeball with the same mass in the -x direction and a velocity of -2 m/s. The balls hit each other, and Jill's ball was deflected 30° above the original path, while her friend's deflected 20⁰. below the initial path. a. Ignoring gravity, solve the velocity of each ball after the collision, using a free body diagram. b. If both balls had a magnitude of 3 m/s, how much kinetic energy was "lost" during the collision?
