It was Tyler’s birthday party, and he had a piñata filled with candies in it. The piñata’s mass is 3.4 kg. Tim swung a 0.8 kg bat at 4.4 m/s to try breaking the piñata. The attempt was unsuccessful, and the piñata only cracked and moved in a swinging motion. Find the swinging speed of the piñata after being hit by the stick.

A 10.0 kg block is sliding along a frictionless table at 1.0 m/s. It collides with a stationary block which also has a mass of 10.0 kg. Immediately after the collision, the blocks stick together and move with a speed of 0.5 m/s. How much kinetic energy is lost in the collision?
A 13.8 kg block is sliding along a frictionless surface with a speed of 95.7 m/s. It collides with a second block of mass 93.1 kg. The second block is initially at rest. After the collision, the first block has rebounded with a speed of 26.1 m/s. If this collision is one dimensional, what is the speed in (m/s) of the second block after the collision?
On a very muddy American football field, a 95.0-kg linebacker tackles a 120.-kg halfback. Right before the collision, the linebacker is moving at 8.00m/s east and the halfback is moving at 4.00m/s west. If these two players move together right after collision, what is their final kinetic energy?
A golf ball of mass 0.045 kgkg is hit off the tee at a speed of 32 m/sm/s . The golf club was in contact with the ball for 3.90×10−3 ss .
A 85.7 kg block is sliding along a frictionless surface with a speed of 10.5 m/s. It collides elastically with a second block of mass 15.4 kg. The second block is initially at rest. If this collision is one dimensional, what is the speed (in m/s) of the first block after the collision?
A bowling ball with a mass of 7.0 kg strikes a pin that has a mass of 2.0 kg. The pin flies forward with a velocity of 6.0 m/s and the ball continues forward at 4.0 m/s. What is the original velocity of the ball?
A ball of mass 0.34 kg moving with a speed of 2.7 m/s to the right collides head on with a 0.24 kg ball at rest. If the collision is elastic, what is the speed and direction of each ball after collision?
a slab of clay with a mass of 0.34 kg and velocity of 8 m/s hits a stationary toy car of mass 0.61 kg. If the clay hits and sticks to the car, what is the velocity of the clay and car after impact?
A 1.2kg ball is traveling to the right at 4.5m/s. It collides with a 2.1kg ball moving to the left at 1.5m/s. The collision is totally elastic. What is the velocity of the 2.1kg ball after the collision?

A 58 g superball traveling at 20 m/s collides with a wall and rebounded at 19 m/s. A high-speed camera captures the action, revealing that the ball barely makes contact with the wall for 3.8 milliseconds. Determine the amount of the ball's average acceleration throughout the time it is in contact with the wall.
