Chapter 14.1, Problem 14.2P
Two identical 1350-kg automobiles A and B are at rest with their brakes released when B is struck by a 5400-kg truck C that is moving to the left at 8 km/h. A second collision then occurs when B strikes A. Assuming the first collision is perfectly plastic and the second collision is perfectly elastic, determine the velocities of the three vehicles just after the second collision.

area there are three 180-kg bumper cars occupied by
seniors. The riders in cars A, B, and C have individual masses of 50, 70, and 40 kg respectively. Car A
is observed to be moving to the right with a velocity v = 2 m/s and Car C is moving at vc = 1.5 m/s
to the left. Car B is initially at rest with a collision imminent. The bumper cars are designed with a
coefficient of restitution of 0.8 between each car,

When the constraints on the spring (k = 100 kN/m) are removed, the launching mechanism of the cue is triggered, and the 170-g cue ball A is launched forward. Ball A is separated from the plate when the spring becomes fully unstretched. Ball A is launched at an angle a with the horizontal, making it rebound off the cushion at an angle ß. When the cue ball A hits the initially stationary 9-ball B (ma= 160 g), the latter goes snuggly into the lower left pocket. Determine the amount of compression (mm) on the spring so that the speed of ball B is exactly 5.XYZ m/s, where XYZ is the last three digits of your student number (Ball B may bounce off the table if its velocity is> 5.XYZ m/s and may not reach the pocket if < 5.XYZ m/s). The coefficient of restitution between ball A and the cushion is 0.6 while between balls A and B is 0.95. Neglect the effect of friction and the size of the balls.arrow_forward
