An object of mass 2 kg travelling in a straight line with a velocity of 20m/sec collides with, and strikes to, a stationary object of mass 3 kg. They both move off together in the same straight line with a velocity of v m/sec. If no external forces are acting calculate
a. the total momentum just before the impact
b. the total momentum just after the impact
c. the velocity v.
Solution Preview
Momentum of the system = m1 * v1 + m2 * v2.

<br>The total momentum just before the impact:
<br>Momentum of the 2 kg mass is 2 kg * 20 ...
Solution Summary
This solution calculates the momentum and velocity of two colliding objects.
A first box car with mass 9800 travelling at the speed 14.9m/s striking the second box car at rest. Then, both cars are sticked together and travel with the speed 6.58m/s. Find the mass of the second car.
According to the figure in the attachment,
a. Which node, B or D, first realizes a collision has happened?
b. If B's packet is addressed to A, does A realize that a collision has happened? Explain!
c. What is the jamming signal and who is going to generate it?
d. Draw a graph scenario where a collision does happen, yet on
Two air-track gliders of equal mass are initially moving in the same direction alone a straight line. The rearmost glider has an initial speed of 3.0 m/s and the forward glider has a speed of 2.0 m/s. if the collision is elastic, what are the speeds and directions of the gliders after the collision?
A 1055 kg van, stopped at a traffic light, is hit directly in the rear by a 770 kg car traveling with a velocity of +2.30 m/s. Assume that the transmission of the van is in neutral, the brakes are not being applied, and the collision is elastic. What is the final velocity of each vehicle?
Hi. Can someone please show me how to do the following problem:
"An 11.2 g object moving to the right at 21.3 cm/s makes an elastic head-on collision with a 17.3 g object moving in the opposite direction at 31.5 cm/s. What is the velocity of the 11.2 g object after the collision? (positive is to the right)"
Thank you!
A 0.4kg ball moving with speed of 3m/sec collides with a 0.6kg mass initially at rest. If the two particles stick together during the collision, find the momentum, velocity, and kinetic energy of the system after the collision.

Two glass marbles moving along a straight line toward each other undergo an elastic collision. The speed of one marble is 2v and its mass is m; the speed of the other marble is v and its mass is 2m. What are the speeds and directions of the marbles after the collision?
An atomic nucleus of mass m traveling with speed v collides elastically with a target particle of mass 2m (initially at rest) and is scattered at 90 degree;. a) at what angle does the target particle move after the collision? b) what are the final speeds of the two particles? c) what fraction of the initial kinetic energy is tr
