Two rolling carts are moving toward each other at the same constant speed of 10m/s. Cart 1 travels to the right with a mass m1 = 0.2kg and while Cart 2 travels to the left with a mass m2 = 0.4kg. Draw a velocity vector v→ for each cart.
Air hockey is a game played on a table. A puck (shown in black) slides freely on a cushion of air. Opposing players strike the puck with a hand-held round "paddle" (shown in red). In one case, while playing air hockey, the puck comes toward you with a speed of 0.8 m/s at an angle of 30° above the -x axis in the xz plane. You strike it with your paddle, and after the collision, the puck travels in the +x direction with a speed of 2.9 m/s toward the opponent's goal. The mass of the puck is 0.020 kg.
Suppose an object of mass m, initially travelling with a velocity v1, collides with an object of mass m initially at rest. Prove that the angle between the velocity vectors of the two objects of the two particles after the collision is 90 degrees.

A hockey puck with a mass of 0.170 kg moving in a straight line at 1.7 m / s collides with an identical puck that is at rest. As a result, the first disk deviates an angle of 30 ° from its original path and continues to move with a speed of 0.45 m / s. What is the angle of the final velocity of the second disk?
From the SUV-compact car example, suppose the same two vehicles are both traveling eastward, the compact car leading the SUV. The driver of the compact car slams on the brakes suddenly, slowing the vehicle to 6.00 m/s. If the SUV traveling at 18.0 m/s crashes into the compact car, find the speed of the system right after the collision, assuming the two vehicles become entangled, Answer: The speed of the system is ___ m/s.
