The cars are equipped with a coupling arrangement similar to the one on railroad cars. Car #1 overtakes car #2 and they have a totally inelastic collision and become coupled together. You know the mass of each car; m, = 11.5 kg and m, = 44.0 kg. In addition, you are provided with the following graph, which shows the momentum of car #1 before, during and after the collision. p (kg · m/s) 100 40 t (s) Determine the velocity (in m/s) of car #2 before the collision. m/s

A space probe is traveling in outer space with a momentum that has a magnitude of 3.04 x 107 kg·m/s. A retrorocket is fired to slow down the probe. It applies a force to the probe that has a magnitude of 1.19 x 106 N and a direction opposite to the probe's motion. It fires for a period of 8.86 s. Determine the momentum of the probe after the retrorocket ceases to fire.

A billiard player sends the cue ball toward a group of three balls that are initially at rest and in contact with one another. After the cue ball strikes the group, the four balls scatter, each traveling in a different direction with different speeds as shown in the figure below. If each ball has the same mass, 0.16 kg, determine the total momentum of the system consisting of the four balls immediately after the collision. (Assume v1 = 0.33 m/s, ?1 = 70°, v2 = 0.49 m/s, ?2 = 30°, v3 = 0.23 m/s, v4 = 0.48 m/s.)
Two billiard balls of identical mass move toward each other as shown in the figure. Assume that the collision between them is perfectly elastic.

Two objects collide head-on (see figure below). The first object is moving with an initial speed of v1i = 7.94 m/s and the second object is moving with an initial speed of v2i = 10.00 m/s. Assuming the collision is elastic, m1 = 5.17 kg, and m2 = 6.29 kg, determine the final velocity of each object. (Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer. Positive is to the right, and negative is to the left. Due to the nature of this problem, do not use rounded intermediate values in your calculations—including answers submitted in WebAssign.)
