Good day Maam/Sir, I hope u can help me with this...... 1. In an event when a 1750 kg bus traveling to the right at 1.50 m/s collides with a 1450 kg car going to the left at 1.10 m/s. Measurements show that the bus speed just after the collision was 0.250 m/s in its original direction. Ignore any road friction during the collision. (a) What was the speed of the lighter car just after the collision? (b) Calculate the change in the combined kinetic energy of the two-car system during this collision.
8. Figure 2b shows that, after a collision, m, travels at a speed vz at an angle ez = 315.0° with respect to the horizontal axis, while m2 moves at a speed v4 at an angle e, = 30.0° with respect to the horizontal axis. Write an equation for the system's total momentum in the x and y direction after the collision.
Two objects had a direct collision. Initially, object A is travelling as fast as object B but in the opposite direction. During collision the momentums are conserved. How much faster is A compared to B after collision, if B weighs 3 times as much as A and is travelling now at half the its initial speed? O 5 times O 6 times O 4 times O 3 times
A mass, m₁ = 3kg is initially travelling with a speed of 4 m/s, and runs into a mass m², that is initially at rest. After the collision, the mass m₁, has reversed direction, and is travelling at 2m/s. a. What is the magnitude of the momentum of mass m₂ after the collision? b. For this part, assume mass m₂ =9kg. Is this an elastic or inelastic collision? Provide a written and mathematical argument to justify your answer.

A woman of mass m = 63 kg runs at a velocity vi = 1.53 m/s before jumping on a skateboard that is initially at rest. After jumping on the board the woman has a velocity vf = 1.42 m/s.b. What is the mass of the skateboard in kilograms? mb =c. The woman soon loses his balance and falls backwards off the board at a velocity of 1.0 m/s. Assuming momentum is conserved in this process, what is the skateboard's new velocity in meters per second? [Note: this may not be a very good assumption, as there can be significant friction in the ball bearings of the skateboard]
Conservation of momentum. I only need solutions for d,e and f
