The mass of the blue puck in Figure P9.44 is 20.0% greater than the mass of the green puck.

Two skateboarders, with masses m1 = 75.0 kg and m2 = 65.0 kg, simultaneously leave the opposite sides of a frictionless half-pipe at height h = 4.00 m as shown in Figure P11.49.

A block with mass m1 = 0.500 kg is released from rest on a frictionless track at a distance h1, = 2.50 m above the top of a table. It then collides elastically with an object having mass m2 = 1.00 kg that is initially at rest on the table, as shown in Figure P6.71.

Figure 8.16 shows a cube at rest and a small object heading toward it. (a) Describe the directions (angle 1 ) at which the small object can emerge after colliding elastically with the cube. How does 1 depend on b, the so-called impact parameter? Ignore any effects that might be due to rotation after the collision, and assume that the cube is much more massive than the small object. (b) Answer the same questions if the small object instead collides with a massive sphere. Figure 8.16 A small object approaches a collision with a much more massive cube, after which its velocity has the direction 1. The angles at which the small object can be scattered are determined by the shape of the object it strikes and the impact parameter b.
