Two boys are sliding toward each other on a frictionless, ice-covered parking lot. Jacob, mass 45 kg, is gliding to the right at 8.02 m/s, and Ethan, mass 31.0 kg, is gliding to the left at 10.5 m/s along the same line. When they meet, they grab each other and hang on.
(a) What is their velocity immediately thereafter?
b) What fraction of their original kinetic energy is still
mechanical energy after their collision?
(c) That was so much fun that the boys repeat the collision with
the same original velocities, this time moving along parallel lines
1.03 m apart. At closest approach, they lock arms and start
rotating about their common center of mass. Model the boys as
particles and their arms as a cord that does not stretch. Find the
velocity of their center of mass.
(d) Find their angular speed.
(e) What fraction of their original kinetic energy is still
mechanical energy after they link arms?

Two fun-loving otters are sliding toward each other on a muddy (and hence frictionless) horizontal surface. One of them, of mass 8.00 kg , is sliding to the left at 5.00 m/s , while the other, of mass 5.65 kg , is slipping to the right at 5.00 m/s . They hold fast to each other after they collide. Find the magnitude of the velocity of these free-spirited otters right after they collide.. How much mechanical energy dissipates during this...
Two ice skaters, Daniel (mass 65 kg) and Rebecca (mass 45 kg), are practicing.
Two ice skaters, Daniel (mass 65 kg) and Rebecca (mass 45 kg), are practicing. Daniel is initially at rest when struck by Rebecca moving at 13 m/s. After the collision, Rebecca has a velocity of 8 m/s at an angle of 53.10 from her initial direction. a) What are the magnitude and direction of Daniel's velocity after the collision? b) What is the change in kinetic energy of the two skaters as a result of the collision?

Block 1, of mass m1 = 2.30 kg, moves along a frictionless air track with speed v1 = 31.0 m/s. It collides with block 2, of mass m2 = 13.0 kg, which was initially at rest. The blocks stick together after the collision. A) Find the magnitude pi of the total initial momentum of the two-block system. B) Find vf, the magnitude of the final velocity of the two-block system C)What is the change ΔK=Kfinal−Kinitial in the two-block system's kinetic...

Question 8. (15 Marks) Two gliders move toward each other on a frictionless track (Figure O8a). Glider A has a mass of 0.50 kg, and glider B has a mass of 0.30 kg: both gliders move with an initial speed of 2.0 m/s. (a) Assume that after the collision, glider B moves away with a final velocity of +2.0 m/s (Figure Q8c). What is the final velocity of A? (b) Assume that after the collision, the two gliders stick together...

In outer space, far from any other influences, two rocks collide and bounce off each other. All motion is along the x axis. Rock A has a mass of 3 kg, an initial velocity of 〈40,0,0〉m/s, and a final velocity of 〈16,0,0〉m/s. Rock B has a mass of 6kg and an initial velocity of 〈−20, 0, 0〉 m/s. (a) What is the final 3-D velocity vector (not speed!) of Rock B? (b) What is the change in the total kinetic...

Two hockey pucks approach each other as shown in the figure below. Puck 1 has an initial speed of 19 m/s, and puck 2 has an initial speed of 14 m/s. They collide and some glue on one of the pucks causes them to stick together. (Assume the pucks have the same mass.) (a) If the two pucks form a ''system'' is the momentum of this system along x or y conserved? (b) Find the components along x and y...

Two pieces of clay are moving directly toward each other. When they collide, they stick together and move as one piece. One piece having mass 300 g is moving to the right at a speed of 1 m/s. The other piece has mass 600 g and is moving to the left at a speed of 0.75 m/s. a) Use momentum conservation to determine the velocity of the combined clay piece after they collide. (Note: you can treat this as a...

Two skaters, each of mass 40 kg, approach each other along parallel paths separated by 4.0 m. They have opposite velocities of 2.1 m/s each. One skater carries one endof a long pole with negligible mass, and the second skater grabs the other end of it as she passes. The skaters then rotate around the center of the pole. Assume thatthe friction between skates and ice is negligible.(a) What is the radius of the circle they now skate in?2 meters(b)...
