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?
A car of mass 2000 kg is moving with a constant velocity of 10 m/s due east. What is the momentum of the car?
Two carts on a straight track collide head on. The first cart was moving at 3.6 m/s in the positive x direction and the second was moving at 2.4 m/s in the opposite direction. After the collision, the second car continues moving in its initial direction of motion at 0.24 m/s. If the mass of the second car is 5.0 times that of the first, what is the mass and final velocity of the first car?

Use the worked example above to help you solve this problem. A car with mass 1.53 103 kg traveling east at a speed of 26.8 m/s collides at an intersection with a 2.44 103 kg van traveling north at a speed of 18.6 m/s, as shown in the figure. Find the magnitude and direction of the velocity of the wreckage after the collision, assuming that the vehicles undergo a perfectly inelastic collision (that is, they stick together) and assuming that friction between the vehicles and the road can be neglected. magnitude= ? m/s direction= ?° counterclockwise from the +x-axis

Find the magnitude and direction of the velocity of the wreckage after the collision, assuming that the vehicles undergo a perfectly inelastic collision (that is, they stick together) and assuming that friction between the vehicles and the road can be neglected.
Two billiard balls of equal mass undergo a perfectly elastic head-on collision. If one ball's initial speed was 2.50 m/sm/s, and the other's was 4.00 m/sm/s in the opposite direction, what will be their velocities after the collision? Enter your answers numerically separated by a comma. Enter positive value if the direction of the velocity is the same as the direction of the initial velocity of the first ball, and negative value if the direction of the velocity is opposite to the direction of the initial velocity of the first ball.
