Chapter 13.3, Problem 13.CQ4P
A large insect impacts the front windshield of a sports car traveling down a road. Which of the following statements is true during the collision?
a. The car exerts a greater force on the insect than the insect exerts on the car.
b. The insect exerts a greater force on the car than the car exerts on the insect.
c. The car exerts a force on the insect, but the insect does not exert a force on the car.
d. The car exerts the same force on the insect as the insect exerts on the car.
e. Neither exerts a force on the other; the insect gets smashed simply because it gets in the way of the car.

2 blocks of ice are sliding on frictionless ice in opposite directions collide.
The 1st block's mass is 3kg. It is moving to the right at 3 m/s.
The 2nd block's mass is 2kg. It is moving to the left at 2 m/s.
After the impact, the 2nd block moves to the right with a speed of 2 m/s
What is the coefficient of restitution?
m1 = 3
vla= 3
m2 = 2
v2a= -1
After collision:
v2b=2
Momentum_a= m1*vla + m2*v2a
v1b = (Momentum_a - m2*v2b) / m1
% Restitution equation
e = (v2b - v1b) / (v1a - v2a)
