A block of mass m1 = 2.7 kg moving with a speed of 12.9 m/s collides with a second block of mass m2=5 kg that is at rest. After the collision the two blocks are observed to move together with a common speed. Find the speed of the blocks after the collision in units of m/s and round your answer to one decimal place.
A car of mass 735 kg traveling at a velocity of 30 m/s in the positive x-direction crashes into the rear of a truck of mass 1,480 kg that is at rest and in neutral at an intersection. If the collision is inelastic and the truck moves forward at 13.5 m/s, what is the velocity of the car after the collision? (Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer. Assume the collision is head-on so that the motion of both vehicles remains entirely along the x-direction) m/s Submit Answer
For the same collision as above, motion sensors record the velocities as a function of time for both carts. The graph of this function for the heavier cart is this: 2 t What qualities can we expect to see for a graph of velocity vs. time coming from the motion sensor recording the lighter cart's motion during the same collision? [Note: In our lab, the motion sensors are looking at their respective carts from opposite directions, so the positive direction for one sensor is the negative direction for the other, but for the purposes of this question, we will assume that the sensors agree upon the positive direction .] O The graph goes no higher than dotted line #2. The graph crosses dotted line #2, but goes no higher than dotted line #1. The graph crosses both dotted lines. There is not enough information to determine whether the graph crosses either dotted line.
Two blocks of masses m, = 2.30 kg and m, = 4.60 kg are each released from rest at a height of h = 4.20 m on a frictionless track, as shown in the figure below, and undergo an elastic head-on collision. (Let the positive direction point to the right. Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.) (a) Determine the velocity of each block just before the collision. V = m/s m/s (b) Determine the velocity of each block immediately after the collision. m/s V2 = m/s (c) Determine the maximum heights to which m, and m, rise after the collision. Yıf = m Y2f = m
Hi there! I need some help! I am really confused. I do not know how to solve this! A block of mass m = 4.4 kg, moving on frictionless surface with a speed vi = 9.2 m/s, makes a perfectly elastic collision with a block of mass M at rest. After the collision, the 4.4 kg block recoils with a speed of vf = 2.5 m/s. Mass m is closest to: Thank you!
A car and a small truck traveling at right angles to one another with the same speed collide and stick together. The truck's mass is roughly twice the car's mass. Sketch the direction of their momentum vector immediately after the collision. Explain your result.
A glider (Glider #1) has a mass of 18.7 gg and is initially moving at a speed of 23.1 cm/s on a horizontal air track. It then strikes a glider (Glider #2) of mass 39.6 g that is initially at rest. If the collision is perfectly elastic, what is the velocity of Glider #1 after the collision? Express the answer in cm/s.Note: Consider the initial direction of Glider #1 as being the direction of positive velocity.

The diagram shows the momentum vectors of two balls after they collide at the origin. Similar to experiment 8, only one ball was initially moving. Determine the magnitude of its initial momentum if the smallest square is 0.2 kg m/s. Format of answer: #.##. 7
Two objects collide head-on (see figure below). The first object is moving with an initial speed of v1i = 7.94 m/s and the second object is moving with an initial speed of v2i = 10.00 m/s. Assuming the collision is elastic, m1 = 5.17 kg, and m2 = 6.29 kg, determine the final velocity of each object. (Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer. Positive is to the right, and negative is to the left. Due to the nature of this problem, do not use rounded intermediate values in your calculations—including answers submitted in WebAssign.)

A firework explodes into three pieces as shown in the diagram below. Now that you have set up the equation for the x and y components of the final momentum of the firework, let's do some physics! Given: The initial firework had a mass of 9.0 kg and was launched at vi = 110 m/s vertically straight up. The firework explodes into three pieces of equal mass 3.0 kg. The angles θ1 = θ3 = 20 ∘. Speed v1 = 100 m/s. What is the speed v2? Note: the angles shown for mass m1 and mass m3 are relative to the horizontal x axis. Mass m2 is moving straight up (y axis).
