Two billiard balls are at rest and touching each other on a pool table. The cue ball travels at 3.8 m/s along the line of symmetry between these balls and strikes them simultaneously. If the collision is elastic, what is the velocity of the three balls after the collision?
A 90.0-kg fullback running cast with a speed of 5.00 m/s is tackled by a 95.0-kg opponent running north with a speed of 3.00 m/s. (a) Why does the tackle constitute a perfectly inelastic collision? (b) Calculate the velocity of the players immediately after the tackle and (c) determine the mechanical energy that is lost as a result of the collision, (d) Where did the lost energy go?
A child sleds down a hill and collides at 5.6 m/s into a stationary sled that is identical to his. The child is launched forward at the same speed, leaving behind the two sleds that lock together and slide forward more slowly. What is the speed of the two sleds after this collision?
A crate of mass M is initially at rest on a level, frictionless table. A small block of mass m (m M) moves toward the crate as shown in Figure P11.13. After the collision, the block sticks to the crate. Is the magnitude of the impulse exerted on the crate by the block greater than, less than, or equal to the magnitude of the impulse exerted on the block by the crate during the collision process? Explain. FIGURE P11.13
A 50-kg boy on roller skates moves with a speed of 5 m/s. He runs into a 40-kg girl on skates. Assuming they cling together after the collision, what is their speed?
