Question

To win a prize at the county fair, you’re trying to knock down a bowling pin by hitting it with a thrown object. Should you choose to throw a rubber ball, which will bounce off the pin, or a beanbag, which will strike the pin and not bounce? Assume the ball and beanbag have equal size and weight. Explain.

A falcon with a mass of 0.258 kg is flying along at a horizontal speed of 8.2 m/s and it sees a 0.024 kg insect heading straight towards it with a speed of 11 m/s. The falcon open its mouth wide and enjoys a nice lunch. What is the falcon's speed (in m/s) immediately after swallowing the insect?
Two balls each of which has a mass of 25 g but of different color are on a flat floor. Color of one of the bodied is blue and the other is red. The red mass is motionless, the blue mass is moving with velocity 4.5 m/s to the left and collide with the motionless red mass. After the collision the red mass is moving with velocity 4.5 m/s to the left. What is the final velocity of the blue mass?

A 2000 kg car moving east at 10.0 m/s collides with a 3000 kg car moving north. The cars stick together and move as a unit after the collision at an angle of 40.0° north of east. Find (a) the speed of the two cars after the collision and (b) the speed of the 3000 kg car before the collision.
Two blocks with mass m1=200g and m2=400g, are coupled together and move to the right along a frictionless floor at 30 cm/s. A small explosive charge on one block goes off causing the 200g block to stop. After the explosion, what is the speed of the 400g block?
Two billiard balls are at rest and touching each other on a pool table. The cue ball travels at 3.8 m/s along the line of symmetry between these balls and strikes them simultaneously. If the collision is elastic, what is the velocity of the three balls after the collision?
This amazing summer adventure is finally winding down with some pool. Unfortunately, this pool table is wonky and some of the balls are larger than the others! Anthony hits the cue ball (mass = 0.15 kg) and it moves at 5 m/s when it strikes head on into the number 3 ball (mass = 0.30 kg). After this inelastic collision, the cue ball moves off at 60 degrees relative to the +x axis and the number 3 ball moves off at -30 degrees relative to the +axis as shown. What were the speeds of the two balls after the collision?
