If a cart of mass 350 grams moving at speed of 4.5 m/s hits an end-stop and rebounds at a speed of 3.2 m/s, what is the change in momentum, in units of kg.m/s? A cart has the rubber bumper attached to the force sensor, and it moves and collides with an end-stop. In the collision, it suffers a change in momentum = 4.05 kg.m/s, and the time during which the collision takes place is 0.182 seconds. Calculate the average force applied on the cart by the bumper, in newtons.
A 7.6 kg block with a speed of 3.9 m/s collides with a 15.2 kg block that has a speed of 2.6 m/s in the same direction. After the collision, the 15.2 kg block is observed to be traveling in the original direction with a speed of 3.3 m/s. (a) What is the velocity of the 7.6 kg block immediately after the collision? (b) By how much does the total kinetic energy of the system of two blocks change because of the collision? (c) Suppose, instead, that the 15.2 kg block ends up with a speed of 5.2 m/s. What then is the change in the total kinetic energy?
In order to answer this question, follow the steps provided and remember that the total initial momentum of the system must equal the total final momentum. Also, remember that momentum and velocity are vector quantities so you must specify a negative sign if the motion is to the left. A green truck of mass 2500 kg travels to the right with a velocity vig = 3.7 m/s. The green truck approaches a red truck with mass 1460 kg that is traveling to the left with a velocity of vir = -3 m/s. The trucks collide and stick together after the collision. What is the final velocity, vf of the green-red truck system after the collision.

this is a multi step problem but I am just having trouble with this part of the problem. Here are the values that I correctly calculated: mass of particle 1=6 kg initial velocity for particle 1= 185i+138j final velocity for particle 1= -68.89i+-50.67j F21=-15.9e-t/96i+-100sin(2πt/96)j I am trying to find: What is the x displacement for particle 1? I think that I need to use Newtons second law to get an expression for acceleration, and then integrate but I am not getting the right answers.
In lab you investigated collisions between carts on a low-friction track. Imagine initially one of the carts (m1 = 250g) moved with a speed of vi = 3m/s to the right and the other (m2 = 500g) was initially at rest. (Here, as always, please show your work and explain your answers using the laws of physics. In other words, don't just rely on intuition and experience.) (a) If this was a perfectly elastic collision, what would you expect the velocities of the carts to be after the collision? (b) What was the velocity of the center of mass before the collision? What is the velocity of the center of mass after the collision? (Explain!)

A giant "egg" explodes as part of a fireworks display. The egg is at rest before the explosion, and after the explosion, it breaks into two pieces, with piece B moving in the positive x direction. The masses of both pieces are indicated in (Figure 1), shown traveling in opposite directions. What is the magnitude of the momentum |p⃗ A,i| of piece A before the explosion? Express your answer numerically in kilogram meters per second. The component of the momentum of piece B, pBx,f, is measured to be +500 kg⋅m/s after the explosion. Find the component of the momentum pAx,f of piece A after the explosion. Enter your answer numerically in kilogram meters per second.
