An empty maglev train car of mass M1= 24.2 metric tons and moving at a speed v1= 26.4 mph is hit from behind by another, heavier maglev car of mass M2= 44 metric tons and moving at a speed v2= 38.5 mph. Calculate the new speed, V (in m/s), of the system made of the two cars. Assume the collision to be perfectly elastic and neglect all air friction losses.

1 Elastic collision A bumper car of mass m1 = 300kg is initially moving to the right at velocity V1, before = 8m/s and collides head-on with another bumper car of mass m2 = 200kg that is motionless, V2, before = 0. After the collision, the heavy bumper car is moving at a speed of v1,after = 1.6m/s. (a) (5 pts) Calculate the total kinetic energy before the collision (b) (5 pts) Calculate the kinetic energy of the heavy car...
A train (engine and car fully loaded) has total mass of 10500 metric tons (1 metric ton = 2000kg). if the train starts at rest and takes 10 minutes to reach speed of 22 m/s what traction force must the locomotive engine average over that time?
A bumper car with mass m1 = 107 kg is moving to the right with a velocity of v1 = 4.6 m/s. A second bumper car with mass m2 = 98 kg is moving to the left with a velocity of v2 = -3.2 m/s. The two cars have an elastic collision. Assume the surface is frictionless. 1) What is the velocity of the center of mass of the system? m/s 2) What is the initial velocity of car 1...
A bumper car with mass m1-119kg is moving to the right with a velocity of v-4.5 m/s. A second bumper car with mass m2- 84 kg is moving to the left with a velocity of v2- 3.7 m/s. The two cars have an elastic collision. Assume the surface is frictionless
A block of mass m1 = 1.10 kg moving at v1 = 1.20 m/s undergoes a completely inelastic collision with a stationary block of mass m2 = 0.900 kg . The blocks then move, stuck together, at speed v2. After a short time, the two-block system collides inelastically with a third block, of mass m3 = 2.40 kg , which is initially at rest. The three blocks then move, stuck together, with speed v3. Assume that the blocks slide without...

A block of mass m1 moving with speed v1 undergoes a completely inelastic collision with a stationary block of mass m2. The blocks then move, stuck together, at speed v2. After a short time, the two-block system collides inelastically with a third block, of mass m3, which is initially stationary. The three blocks then move, stuck together, with speed v3 (Figure 1) . All three blocks have nonzero mass. Assume that the blocks slide without friction.
A block of mass m1 = 1.4 kg initially moving to the right with a speed of 3.0 m/s on a frictionless, horizontal track collides with a spring attached to a second block of mass m2 = 2.5 kg initially moving to the left with a speed of 1.8 m/s. The spring constant is 565N/m. What if m1 is initially moving at 3.2 m/s while m2 is initially at rest? (a) Find the maximum spring compression in this case. (b)...
