Two round disks of equal mass can slide along a frictionless surface. Disk A is initially moving to the right with a speed of 40.0 m/s when it collides with disk B, which is initially at rest. The collision is not head-on. After the collision, pucks A and B move in the directions indicated in the figure below. What is the speed of each puck after the collision? (Do not assume that the collision is elastic.) 40.0 m/s 30.0° 45.0° B.

A 1425 kg truck driving at 13.0 m/s collides elastically with a stationary 1175 kg car. If the car is traveling 14.25 m/s just after the collision, what is the velocity of the truck immediately after the collision? Assume that this is a perfectly elastic collision. Round your answer to the hundredths place. Final velocity of the truck = m/s
A 12 kg block, initially moving to the right, collides with a stationary 18 kg block, causing the 18 kg to move off to the right. The collision is perfectly elastic. We may conclude that after the collision, the 12 kg block will stop. move to the right with less speed than it had before the collision. move to the right with the same speed that it had before the collision. move to the left with less speed than it had before the collision. move to the left with the same speed that it had before the collision.
A point particle of mass 3.33 kg is moving with an initial velocity of 2.06 m/s . It collides and sticks to an object of mass 4.58 moving at velocity of -1.67 m/s before collision. What is the speed of the particles after collision? Express your answer in m/s and with two decimal places.

A 41.0 g marble moving at 2.30 m/s strikes a 29.0 g marble at rest. Note that the collision is elastic and that it is a "head-on" collision so all motion is along a line. What is the speed of each marble immediately after the collision?
A simple pendelum made of a pendelum bob of mass, m1=.0250 kg, and a string of length, l= .720m, is pulled back to an angle of theta = 35 degrees and then released from rest. At the bottom of the swing m1 and m2=.0200 kg collide and stick together. a. What is the speed of m1 immediately before it hits m2? b. What is the speed of m2 immediately after the collision? c. How high above the bottom of the swing do the two masses rise?
Asteroid X, speeding at 100 m/s towards an equally massive but stationary asteroid Y, collides with a glancing blow. After collision, X is deflected 350 from its original direction while Y travels at 450 to the original direction of X. See the before & after picture of the collision below. Assuming total momentum is conserved, find the speed of each asteroid after collision. a.) V = 58.2 m/s, v = 71.8 m/s b.) v = 58.2 m/s, V = 71.8 m/s

The ball only loses energy during the collisions. Energy is conserved between collisions. We will denote E the total energy of the ball after the first collision, E2 the total energy of the ball after the second collision, and in general, En will represent the total energy of the ball after the nth collision. Consider the floor to be the reference for zero potential energy. Question 4 a. Find the coefficient of restitution in terms of the ball's kinetic energy just before and just after the nth collision (n > 2). b. If the coefficient of restitution is e = 0, what does that imply about the energy lost during the collision? c. If the coefficient of restitution is e = 1, what does that imply about the energy lost during the collision?
