A 45.6 kg block is sliding along a frictionless surface with a speed of 70.8 m/s. It collides with a second block of mass 98 kg. The second block is initially at rest. After the collision, the first block has rebounded with a speed of 29.9 m/s. If this collision is one dimensional, what is the speed (in m/s) of the second block after the collision?

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.
