## Item 4: Collisions and Conservation of Momentum### Problem Statement:Two cars, each of mass $ m $, collide and stick together. Before the collision:- One car was traveling north at a speed of $ 3v $.- The second car was traveling at a speed of $ 2v $ at an angle $ \phi $ south of east (as shown in the figure).After the collision, the two-car system travels at a speed $ v_{\text{final}} $ at an angle $ \theta $ east of north.### Figure 1:The figure illustrates the initial velocities and the resulting final velocity after collision:1. The northward-traveling car (shown in blue) has a velocity vector of $ 3v $ directed straight up (north).2. The second car (shown in yellow) traveling southeast at an angle $ \phi $ has a velocity vector labeled $ 2v $, which forms an angle $ \phi $ south of the eastward direction.3. The combined post-collision velocity $ v_{\text{final}} $ is depicted at an angle $ \theta $ east of north.### Calculation:The final velocity of the system after collision can be determined using the principle of conservation of momentum. The document showcases the following inferred formula for the final velocity:\[v_{\text{final}} = \frac{v}{3} \sqrt{13 - 12 \sin \theta}\]### Submission Status:- **Current User Attempt:** Incorrect; Try Again- **Remaining Attempts:** 4- **Hint Provided:** The correct answer does not depend on $ \theta $.The equation provided seems incorrect or there might be a misunderstanding. Based on conservation of momentum principles, users need to re-evaluate their approach, ensuring accurate vector resolution and combination for both cars' velocities.

Two cars, both of mass m, collide and stick together. Prior to the collision, one car had been traveling north at speed 3v, while the second was traveling at speed 2v at an angle o south of east (as indicated in the figure). After the collision, the two-car system travels at speed Vfinal at an angle 0 east of north. (Figure 1)

One hazard of space travel is debris left by previous missions. There are several thousand masses large enough to detect by radar orbiting the earth, but there are far greater numbers of very small masses such as flakes of paint. Calculate the force exerted by a 0.130 mg chip of paint that strikes a space shuttle window at a relative speed of 4.00 ✕ 103 m/s and sticks, given the collision lasts 6.00 ✕ 10-8 s.

An acrobatic buccaneer swings from one rope to another in the rigging of a pirate ship. As she grasps the rope, her mass is m, 63.5 kg; knots on the rope make the rope's effective mass m, 1.50 kg. From the height %D she grabs the rope, she swings up a further distance of 1.50 m. Assuming that her collision with the rope is perfectly inelastic, answer the following questions: {Note: Treat as a ballistic pendulum problem!} mehanical a) Does the buccaneer's collision with the rope conserve her-kietie en- ergy? {Y/N?} b) Neglecting any energy losses due to friction, air drag, etc., determine the velocity of the buccaneer + rope system right after she grabs the rope in m/s. {Assume a closed system, thus Conservation of Energy} c) Is it possible to calculate the buccaneer's initial speed before she grabbed the rope from the information given? {Y/N?}

U m m V 2m 2m V V Two balls, one of mass m and one of mass 2m, approach from orthogonal directions with identical speeds v and collide. After the collision, the more massive ball moves with the same speed v but downward (orthogonal to its original direction) and the less massive ball moves with speed U at an angle 0 with respect to horizontal. Assume that no external forces act during the collision. (3)
