m2 m h=7.0m ☐ Figure 1: Diagram for Problem 15 15) During a test investigation, a 40-gram bullet is fired towards a stationary block of 1.0-kg mass causing a perfectly in-elastic collision. After the collision, the block-bullet system slides up a smooth ramp, eventually coming to rest at an elevation of 7.0 meters. Calculate the speed of the bullet. Must show all steps including the equations being used.
Two cars collide at an icy intersection and stick together afterward. The first car has a mass of 1400 kg and was approaching at 5.00 m/s due south. The second car has a mass of 850 kg and was approaching at 16.0 m/s due west. a. Calculate the final velocity (magnitude in m/s and direction in degrees counterclockwise from the west) of the cars. (Note that since both cars have an initial velocity, you cannot use the equations for conservation of momentum along the x-axis and y-axis; instead, you must look for other simplifying aspects.) magnitude m/sdirection ° counterclockwise from west b. How much kinetic energy (in J) is lost in the collision? (This energy goes into deformation of the cars.) J
