2. Balls 1 and 2 have the same mass of 500 grams and are travelling horizontally to the right. Ball 1 and 2 are initially 2m apart. Ball 2 is traveling at 1m/s followed by ball 1. The two balls collided after 1.5 second. What is the velocity of Ball 1 and 2 after collision and in what direction will each ball travel?

A bullet weighing 60g is fired at a velocity of 360m/s at a block weighing 1kg at rest on a frictionless surface. When the bullet hits the block, it becomes lodged in the block and causes the block to move. How fast does the block move after the collision?
A 2500-kg car traveling at 20 m/s is chasing a second car of mass 3500 kg that is traveling at 7 m/s in the same direction as the first car, both to the east. If the two cars collide and stick together, what is their speed and direction after the collision?. Is the kinetic energy conserved in this situation?

A spring pushes against two horizontal carts that are held together by a thread on a frictionless surface. Cart A is 1.5-kg and Cart B is 4.5-kg. The thread is then burned, releasing the stored energy of the spring and the carts move away from each other. The Cart A moves with a velocity of 27cm / s to the left. What is the velocity of the Cart B, in cm / s ?
