Two objects, both with a mass of 1.87 kg are sliding across a horizontal, frictionless surface toward each other. If mass 1 has an initial velocity of 4.63 m/s i and mass 2 has an initial velocity of -2.22 m/s i, what is the final speed of the masses if they undergo a perfectly inelastic collision? Assume that total momentum is conserved.

A block of mass m = 3.5 kg, moving on a frictionless surface with a speed Vmo = 6.2 m/s makes a sudden perfectly elastic collision with a second block of mass M, as shown in the figure. The second block is originally at rest (VMO = 0). Just after the collision, the 3.5-kg block recoils (moves left) with a speed of Vm1 = 1.5 m/s and the unknown mass block moves right with a speed of VM1 = 2.1 m/s. What is the mass M of the second block? m M m M before after
One object is at rest, and another is moving. The two collide in a one-dimensional, completely inelastic collision. In other words, they stick together after the collision and move off with a common velocity. Momentum is conserved. The speed of the object that is moving initially is 27 m/s. The masses of the two objects are 3.0 and 8.6 kg. Determine the final speed of the two-object system after the collision for the case (a) when the large-mass object is the one moving initially and the case (b) when the small-mass object is the one moving initially.

One object is at rest, and another is moving. The two collide in a one-dimensional, completely inelastic collision. In other words, they stick together after the collision and move off with a common velocity. Momentum is conserved. The speed of the object that is moving initially is 29 m/s. The masses of the two objects are 2.8 and 8.8 kg. Determine the final speed of the two-object system after the collision for the case (a) when the large-mass object is the one moving initially and the case (b) when the small-mass object is the one moving initially.

A puck of mass mA that is moving along the +x axis with speed va collides with another puck of mass mB = 2mA. The collision is not head-on, so that after they collide, mB is located at 45◦ south of east, while mA collides head-on elastically with a stationary puck of mass mC = 3mA. If, after the second collision, the final velocity of mC is 0.450 [m/s], 25◦ north of east, what is the initial speed va?
