A billiard player sends the cue ball toward a group of three balls that are initially at rest and in contact with one another. After the cue ball strikes the group, the four balls scatter, each traveling in a different direction with different speeds as shown in Figure P10.30. If each ball has the same mass, 0.16 kg, determine the total momentum of the system consisting of the four balls immediately after the collision. FIGURE P10.30
Initially, ball 1 rests on an incline of height h, and ball 2 rests on an incline of height h/2 as shown in Figure P11.40. They are released from rest simultaneously and collide elastically in the trough of the track. If m2 = 4 m1, m1 = 0.045 kg, and h = 0.65 m, what is the velocity of each ball after the collision?
A car crashes into a large tree that does not move. The car goes from 30 m/s to 0 in 1.3 m. (a) What impulse is applied to the driver by the seatbelt, assuming he follows the same motion as the car? (b) What is the average force applied to the driver by the seatbelt?
A tennis ball of mass 57.0 g is held just above a basketball of mass 500 g as shown in Figure P9.17. With their centers vertically aligned, both balls are released from rest at the same time, to fall through a distance of 1.20 m. (a) Find the magnitude of the downward velocity with which the basketball reaches the ground. (b) Assume that an elastic collision with the ground instantaneously reverses the velocity of the basketball while the tennis ball is still moving down. Next, the two balls meet in an elastic collision. To what height does the tennis ball rebound? Figure P9.17

He grabs her around the waist, and they maintain their balance. (a) Sketch the problem with before-and-after diagrams, representing the skaters as blocks. (b) Is the collision best described as elastic, inelastic, or perfectly inelastic? Why? (c) Write the general equation for conservation of momentum in terms of m1, v1, m2, v2, and final velocity vf. (d) Solve the momentum equation for vf. (e) Substitute values, obtaining the numerical value for vf, their speed after the collision.
