A 6.71-g bullet is moving horizontally with a velocity of +362 m/s, where the sign + indicates that it is moving to the right (see part a of the drawing). The bullet is approaching two blocks resting on a horizontal frictionless surface. Air resistance is negligible. The bullet passes completely through the first block (an inelastic collision) and embeds itself in the second one, as indicated in part b. Note that both blocks are moving after the collision with the bullet. The mass of the first block is 1158 g, and its velocity is +0.550 m/s after the bullet passes through it. The mass of the second block is 1535 g. (a) What is the velocity of the second block after the bullet imbeds itself?

A billiard player sends the cue ball toward a group of three balls that are initially at rest and in contact with one another. After the cue ball strikes the group, the four balls scatter, each traveling in a different direction with different speeds as shown in the figure below. If each ball has the same mass, 0.16 kg, determine the total momentum of the system consisting of the four balls immediately after the collision. (Assume v1 = 0.33 m/s, ?1 = 70°, v2 = 0.49 m/s, ?2 = 30°, v3 = 0.23 m/s, v4 = 0.48 m/s.)
Puck 1 (0.5 kg) travels with velocity 80 m/s to the right when it collides with puck 2 (1 kg) which is initially at rest. After the collision, puck 1 moves with a velocity of 0 m/s. Assume that no external forces are present and therefore the momentum for the system of pucks is conserved. What is the final velocity (in m/s) of puck 2 after the collision?
Two billiard balls of identical mass move toward each other as shown in the figure. Assume that the collision between them is perfectly elastic. If the initial velocities of the balls are v1i = +34.3 cm/s and v2i = −20.1 cm/s, what are the velocities of the balls after the collision? Assume friction and rotation are unimportant. (Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.) v1f = cm/s v2f = cm/s
A watermelon is blown into three pieces by a large firecracker. Two pieces of equal mass m fly away perpendicular to one another, one in the x direction another in the y direction. Both of these pieces fly away with a speed of V = 23 m/s. The third piece has three times the mass of the other two pieces. Write an expression for the speed of the larger piece, that is in terms of only the variable V. What is the numeric value for the speed of the larger piece, in meters per second? At what angle does the largest piece travel with respect to the -y axis, in degrees?
Two shuffleboard disks of equal mass, one orange and the other green, are involved in a perfectly elastic glancing collision. The green disk is initially at rest and is struck by the orange disk moving initially to the right at vOi = 6.55 m/s as in Figure a, shown below. After the collision, the orange disk moves in a direction that makes an angle of θ = 38.0° with the horizontal axis while the green disk makes an angle of ϕ = 52.0° with this axis as in Figure b. Determine the speed of each disk after the collision. vof = m/svgf = m/s

In a football game, a receiver is standing still, having just caught a pass. Before he can move, a tackler, running at a velocity of +3.77 m/s, grabs him. The tackler holds onto the receiver, and the two move off together with a velocity of +1.82 m/s. The mass of the tackler is 94.1 kg. Assuming that momentum is conserved, find the mass of the receiver. Number i Units Before collision After collision
A grenade (mass = 3 kg), moving horizontally at 60 m/s, explodes into two fragments with masses m1 = 1 kg and m2 = 2 kg.

Make a diagram drawing the momentum vectors of the system before and after the explosion. What magnitude is conserved? Write the corresponding vector expression. 2. Find the magnitude of the velocity of the first and second fragments.
