Two boxes are sliding to the right on a horizontal frictionless surface. Box 1 is trailing box 2. Box 1 has a mass of 2 kg and a speed of 5 m/s, while box 2 has a mass of 4 kg and a speed of 3 m/s. Eventually, box 1 catches up to box 2 and experiences a completely inelastic collision with box 2. What is the speed of the two blocks after the collision?

Two blocks undergo a completely inelastic collision while sliding horizontally on a smooth surface. Before the collision, block A is sliding to the right at 6 m/s whereas block B is sliding to the left at 17 m/s. The mass of block A is 8 kg and the mass of block B is 7 kg, calculate their post-collision speed
Two blocks are sliding across a horizontal frictionless tabletop. Block A has a mass of 5 kg, and it is sliding directly southward with a speed of 8 m/s. Block B has a mass of 7 kg, and it is sliding directly westward with a speed of 4 m/s. The blocks then collide and stick together. What is the speed of the new combined block after the collision?

Two wooden blocks, M1 and M2 are sliding in the same direction at the same speed on a frictionless horizontal surface. Let M1=M2= 3kg and assume their speed is 2 m/s. A third block of mass m = 1 kg is also sliding in the same direction at a speed of 10 m/s, and it collides with the trailing 3 kg block. The third block is covered with a sticky, gooey substance, so it sticks to the trailing block. This...
Block A of a mass 0.7 kg is sliding to the right at a speed of 4.7 m/s while block B of mass 4.5kg is sliding to the right with a velocity of 1.2 m/s. The surface is frictionless for both blocks. If they collide perfectly elastically what is the speed of block A after 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?
A 3.5 kg box is sliding along a frictionless horizontal surface with a speed of 1.8 m/s when it encounters a spring. (a) Determine the force constant (in N/m) of the spring, if the box compresses the spring 6.3 cm before coming to rest. (B) Determine the initial speed (in m/s) the box would need in order to compress the spring by 1.7 cm.
3. A block of mass 3m sits at rest on a horizontal, frictionless surface. Suddenly another block with mass m comes sliding in from the left with speed vo to the right. The blocks collide and stick together. Determine the speed of the blocks after the collision.
A 4kg mess kit sliding on a frictionless horizontal surface, explodes into two 2 kg pieces. After the collision one part moves towards North with speed of 3 m/s and the other moves at 5 m/s in a direction 30° south of east. Determine the original velocity of the mess kit.
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...
