A car moving with an initial speed v collides with a second stationary car that is 54.9 percent as massive. After the collision the first car moves in the same direction as before with a speed that is 39.7 percent of the original speed. Calculate the final speed of the second car. Give your answer in units of the initial speed (i.e. as a fraction of v).
In a game of pool, the cue ball strikes another ball initially at rest. After the collision, the cue ball moves at 3.50 m/s along a line making an angle of 22.0 degrees with its original direction of motion and the second ball has a speed of 2.00 m/s.
a) Find the angle between the direction of motion of the second ball and the original direction of motion of the cue ball.
b) Find the original speed of the cue ball.
c) Is the kinetic energy conserved? Show your proof.
A car with a mass of 970 kg and a speed of v1 = 17.5 m/s approaches an intersection, as shown in the figure. A 1300 kg minivan traveling at v2 is heading for the same intersection. The car and minivan collide and stick together. The direction of the wreckage after the collision is θ = 44.0 degrees above the x axis.
Find the initial speed of the minivan, assuming external forces can be ignored.
Find the final speed of the wreckage.
