A car of mass 750 kg traveling at a velocity of 27 m/s in the positive x-direction crashes into the rear of a truck of mass 1 500 kg that is at rest and in neutral at an intersection. If the collision is inelastic and the truck moves forward at 15.0 m/s, what is the velocity of the car after the collision? (See Section 6.3.)
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?
The mass of the blue puck in Figure P9.44 is 20.0% greater than the mass of the green puck. Before colliding, the pucks approach each other with momenta of equal magnitudes and opposite directions, and the green puck has an initial speed of 10.0 m/s. Find the speeds the pucks have after the collision if half the kinetic energy of the system becomes internal energy during the collision.
A tennis ball of mass 57.0 g is held just above a basketball of mass 500 g as shown in Figure P9.17.
