A container explodes and breaks into three fragments that fly off in one plane, in directions that make equal angles apart from one another. The resulting fragments have a mass ratio 1:5:1. What kind of process is this? Show the pictorial representation of the system (i.e., show the vector momenta), and mark the known and unknown quantities that characterize this system. Show that the speeds of the first and third fragments must be equal. If the first piece flies off with a speed of 10.2 m/s, what is the speed of the second fragment?

Two objects travel in opposite directions along a straight line. They have momentaof equal magnitude, and they stick together when they collide. (a) What is the finalspeed of the two objects? Explain. (b) What percentage of the initial kinetic energy isconverted to other forms as a result of the collision?
Particle A of mass m, initial velocity 20i (m/s) has a collision with a stationary particle B of mass 2m. After collision, VA(final)=10i+5j (m/s) I need help understanding how does the i and j effect the formula for collision problems? I know the usual collision probleam steps but don't understand how this would effect the steps to solve the questions asked from this scenerio such as finding VB(final) if the system linear momentum is conserved in both directions. or calculating what the velocities of center of the system are before and after collision?
For all the collisions in this lab, what can you conclude about the sum of the changes in momentum for the objects (Δp1 + Δp2 for Parts 1 and 2 and Δp1 + Δp2 + Δp3 for Part 3)? Does this agree with the Law of Momentum Conservation? Show why or why not.
Let two particles of equal mass m collide. Particle 1 has initial velocity v, directed to the right, and particle 2 is initially stationary.

Consider the collision pictured below. While m2=10kg is initially at rest, horizontally moving m1=5kg with a speed of v1=14.9m/s collides with it. After the collision, the two masses scatter with speeds of v1′=8.3m/s and v′2. If θ1=38o, determine the speed of m2 after the collision, v2′=?. Express your answer in units of m/sm/s with one decimal place. Note: Please note that we do not know whether or not this is an elastic collision.
