- Lark Brandt won a "Worlds Fastest Smash" competition in the early 2000s. His ping pong ball achieved a speed of 112.5 km/hr. If his ping pong ball had a mass of 2.7 g and hit a wooden block with a mass of 125 g and bounced back with a speed of 45.0 km/hr, what speed (in km/hr) would the wooden block have?arrow_forwardIn a very busy off-campus eatery, one chef sends a 201 g broccoli-tomato-pickle-onion-mushroom pizza sliding down the counter from left to right at 1.79 m/s. Almost simultaneously, the other chef launches a 335 g veggie burger (with everything, but hold the horseradish) along the same counter from right to left at 2.47 m/s. The two delicacies collide head-on at the given speeds. The counter is practically friction-free due to accumulated grease. The two delicacies merge into a single, unbelievably savory serving. In what direction does the merged meal move, if it moves at all? A) does not move B) to the right C) to the left At what speed does it move in m/s? Enter a positive number.arrow_forwardThere are two relativistic particles of identical mass m that move towards each other along the same axis. The magnitudes of their momenta are the same. They collide head-on to form a new particle of mass 8m. What were the magnitudes of momenta of the initial particles?arrow_forward
- In a very busy off-campus eatery one chef sends a 221 g broccoli-tomato-pickle-onion-mushroom pizza sliding down the counter from left to right at 1.59 m/s. Almost simultaneously, the other chef launches a 315 g veggieburger (with everything, but hold the horseradish) along the same counter from right to left at 2.27 m/s. The two delicacies collide head on at the given speeds. The counter is practically friction free due to accumulated grease. The two delicacies merge into a single, unbelievably savory serving. In what direction does the merged meal move, if it moves at all? a. to the right b. to the left c. does not move At what speed does it move in m/s? (positive number).arrow_forwardTwo particles A and B are moving towards each other along the x-direction with speeds VA = 2 m/s and vB = 2 m/s, as shown in the figure below. The masses are respectively mA =1 kg and mB = 1.2 kg. The coefficient of restitution e = 0.5. A V₁ VAX = -2.36 m/s VAX=- 1.27 m/s VAX=-0.18 m/s VAX = 2 m/s VB B X Calculate the x-component of the velocity vector of particle A after impact (magnitude and sign); give your answer in the coordinate system shown in m/s.arrow_forwardIn the four momentum treatment of relativistic particle collisions or decays, The mass of a particle is different for various observers. O Momentum and energy are still conserved in any inertial frame of reference. O The energy equals the sum of the momentum, pc, plus the mass, mc2. O The momentum and energy for a process are the same in all frames of reference.arrow_forward
- A child on ice skates with a mass of 35 kg and a velocity of 7.5 m/s [S] undergoes a collision with a second child on ice skates with a of mass 45 kg and a velocity of 3.5 m/s [S30°E]. If the two children become entangled during the collision, determine their final velocity.arrow_forwardThe answer I have is 0 kg m/s, not 24 kg m/s. I was just not sure how to calculate to get 0 kh m/s. Can you recheck the problem to see if it was done correctly? Thanks.arrow_forward
