Two blocks of mass 0.30g and 0.20g are moving towards each other along a horizontal frictionless surface with velocities of 0.500m/s and 1.000m/s respectively.
c. Find the final velocity of each block if the collision is completely elastic.
here,
mass of block 1 , m1 = 0.3 g
mass of block 2 , m2 = 0.2 g
initial speed of 1 , u1 = - 0.5 m/s
initial speed of 2 , u2 = 1 m/s
let the final velocity of each block be v1 and v2
using conservation of momentum
m1 * u1 + m2 * u2 = m1 * v1 + m2 * v2
0.3 * (-0.5) + 0.2 * 1 = 0.3 * v1 + 0.2 * v2 ....(1)
and
using conservation of energy
0.5 * m1 * u1^2 + 0.5 * m2 * u2^2 = 0.5 * m1 * v1^2 + 0.5 * m2 * v2^2
0.3 * (-0.5)^2 + 0.2 * 1^2 = 0.3 * v1^2 + 0.2 * v2^2 ....(2)
from (1) and (2)
v1 = 0.7 m/s
v2 = - 0.8 m/s
the final speed of 1 is 0.7 m/s in opposite direction
the final speed of 2 is 0.8 m/s in opposite direction

Problem 3 (20 points: Two blocks, mA 12.0 kg, mB-5.0 kg slide along a frictionless horizontal surface towards one another as shown below. Assuming the collision is perfectly elastic, determine the velocity of each block after impact, the total amount of kinetic energy the system loses, and the magnitude of the impulse felt by block A during the collision.

A block of mass m = 8.40 kg, moving on a horizontal frictionless surface with a speed 4.20 m/s, makes a perfectly elastic collision with a block of mass M at rest. After the collision, the 8.40 kg block recoils with a speed of 0.400 m/s. In the figure, the blocks are in contact for 0.200 s. What is the magnitude of the average force on the 8.40 kg block, while the two blocks are in contact?

Two blocks are on a frictionless surface. One block is at rest and the other collides with it at 25 m/s in the +x-direction. Both blocks have the same mass. The first block flies off at +45-degrees to the +x-axis and the other flies off at -45-degrees to the +x-axis. What is the magnitude of the velocity of the two pucks? Assume that this is an elastic collision. Draw a diagram to support your answer.
Please Help! thank you Two blocks are moving along the r-axis. Block A is moving with a velocity of +25 cm and Block B is moving with a velocity of-15m. The mass of Block A is 250g and the mass of Block B is 150g. If the two blocks stick together what is their final velocity? If the two blocks collide elastically what are their final velocities?
