A billiard ball is moving in the x-direction at 30.0 cm/s and strikes another billiard ball moving in the y-direction at 40.0 cm/s. As a result of the collision, the first ball moves at 50.0 cm/s, and the second ball stops. What is the change in kinetic energy of the system as a result of the collision?

Two objects are on a collision course. Object #1 has a mass of 13.4 kg and an initial velocity of 12.3 m/s i. Object #2 has a mass of 7.53 kg and an initial velocity of -3.69 m/s i. If the system is isolated and the objects stick together upon colliding, what amount of energy is lost in the collision? Assume that all quantities are good to 3 significant figures, All numeric answers should be entered rounded to 3 significant figure.

A 7.6 kg block with a speed of 3.9 m/s collides with a 15.2 kg block that has a speed of 2.6 m/s in the same direction. After the collision, the 15.2 kg block is observed to be traveling in the original direction with a speed of 3.3 m/s. (a) What is the velocity of the 7.6 kg block immediately after the collision? (b) By how much does the total kinetic energy of the system of two blocks change because of the collision? (c) Suppose, instead, that the 15.2 kg block ends up with a speed of 5.2 m/s. What then is the change in the total kinetic energy?

A 0.060-kgkg tennis ball, moving with a speed of 5.80 m/sm/s , has a head-on collision with a 0.090-kgkg ball initially moving in the same direction at a speed of 3.48 m/sm/s . Assume that the collision is perfectly elastic. Determine the speed of the 0.090-kgkg ball after the collision. Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.
At the local radio controlled (RC) airfield, a 2.4 kg RC plane strikes a 1.2 kg aerial drone that is hovering stationary at an altitude of 9.6 m. Just after the collision, the two aircraft are stuck together and moving to the east at 9 m/s at an altitude of 9.6 m. What is the speed (in m/s) of the plane just prior to the collision?
V ? A hockey puck of mass 4m has been rigged to explode, as part of a practical joke. Initially the puck is at rest on a frictionless ice rink. Then it bursts into three pieces. One chunk, of mass m, slides across the ice at speed v. Another chunk, of mass 2m, slides across the ice at speed 2v, in a direction at right angles to the direction of the first piece. From this information, find the velocity of the final chunk. Initally at rest
