Two cars, both of mass m, collide and stick together. Prior to the collision, one car had been traveling north at speed 3v, while the second was traveling at speed 2v at an angle o south of east (as indicated in the figure). After the collision, the two-car system travels at speed Vfinal at an angle 0 east of north. (Figure 1)

A load of gravel is dumped straight down into a 30000-kg freight car coasting at 2.2 m/s on a straight section of a railroad. If the freight car’s speed after receiving the gravel is 1.5 m/s, what mass of gravel did it receive?
Derive the equations giving the final speeds for two objects that collide elastically, with the mass of the objects being m1 and m2 , and the initial speeds being v1,i and v2,i=0 (i.e., second object is initially stationary).
Two projectiles of mass m1 and m2 , are fired at the same speed but in opposite directions from two launch sites separated by a distance D. They both reach the same spot in their highest point and strike there. As a result of the impact they stick together and move as a single body afterwards. Find the place they will land.
In an elastic collision, a 400-kg bumper car collides directly from behind with a second, identical bumper car that is traveling in the same direction. The initial speed of the leading bumper car is 5.60 m/s and that of the trailing car is 6.00 m/s. Assuming that the mass of the drivers is much, much less than that of the bumper cars, what are their final speeds?
A 2000-kg railway freight car coasts at 4.4 m/s underneath a grain terminal, which dumps grain directly down into the freight car. If the speed of the loaded freight car must not go below 3.0 m/s, what is the maximum mass of grain that it can accept?
Find the center of mass of a rod of length L whose mass density changes from one end to the other quadratically. That is, if the rod is laid out along the x-axis with one end at the origin and the other end at x=L , the density is given by (x)=0+(10)(xL)2 , where 0 and 1 are constant values.
