Two train cars on a frictionless track have a completely inelastic collision in which they "couple" together. The car on the left has mass 16.1 tons and velocity 16.1 m/s to the right; the other train has mass 10.8 tons and velocity 13.1 m/s to the left. After the collision, what is the velocity of the pair fo cars? Your answer should be in tons times m/s, but you don't need to write the units, just the number. "To the right" is taken as positive, so make sure you have the sign right. (If your answer is positive, you don't need to write a "+" sign.)
In the figure, block A (mass 1.8 kg) slides into block B (mass 2.6 kg), along a frictionless surface. The directions of velocities before and after the collision are indicated; the corresponding speeds are vAi = 5.5 m/s, vBi = 2.9 m/s, and vBf = 4.5 m/s. What is velocity vAf (including sign, where positive denotes motion to the right)?
You hold glider AA of mass 0.125 kgkg and glider BB of mass 0.375 kgkg at rest on an air track with a compressed spring of negligible mass between them. When you release the gliders, the spring pushes them apart. Once the gliders are no longer in contact with the spring, glider AA is moving to the right at 0.600 m/sm/s. What is the velocity (magnitude and direction) of glider BB at this time? Express your answer with the appropriate units. Enter positive value if glider BB is moving to the right and negative value if glider BB is moving to the left. b) Glider AA moving to the right at 0.600 m/sm/s then collides head-on with a third glider CC of mass 0.750 kgkg that is moving to the left at 0.400 m/sm/s. After this collision, glider CC is moving to the left at 0.150 m/sm/s. What is the velocity (magnitude and direction) of glider AA after this collision? Express your answer with the appropriate units. Enter positive value if glider AA is moving to the right and negative value if…
How do I solve this? How do I determine the different velocities if I don't know what kinds of momentum are conserved?
An astronaut on a spacewalk becomes untethered from the ISS. In order to propel herself back toward the space station, she throws her hammer with a speed of 5m/s. (a) In which direction, relative to the space station, should she throw the hammer? (b) If she (and the suit) have a mass of 80kg and the hammer has a mass of 5kg, what is the velocity of the astronaut after she throws the hammer?
Human reaction time is usually about 0.20 s. If your lab partner holds a ruler between your finger and thumb and releases it without warning, how far can you expect the ruler to fall before you catch it? The nearest value is:
The three balls in the overhead are identical. Balls 2 and 3 touch each other and are aligned perpendicular to the path of ball 1. The velocity of ball 1 has magnitude v0 = 10 m/s and is directed at the contact point of balls 1 and 2. After the collision, what are the (a) speed and (b) direction of the velocity of ball 2, the (c) speed and (d) direction of the velocity of ball 3, and the (e) speed and (f) direction of the velocity of ball 1? (Hint:With friction absent, each impulse is directed along the line connecting the centers of the colliding balls, normal to the colliding surfaces.)
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. Now assume that the mass of particle 1 is 2m, while the mass of particle 2 remains m. If the collision is elastic, what are the final velocities v1 and v2 of particles 1 and 2? Express the velocities in terms of v.
