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?

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.
3) On a horizontal surface, a 2.0-kg block is moving with the speed of 15m/s toward a resting 0.25-kg block and collides with it. Upon collision, an explosion of a small amount of gun powder, between the colliding surfaces of the blocks, results in introducing 150J of kinetic energy to the blocks. The Coefficient of kinetic friction between the horizontal surface and each block is 0.25. How far apart are the blocks when they come to rest?
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.
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...
In an elastic collision two cars are traveling toward one another and crash head-on.
