While stuck at a railroad crossing, you notice a full train car
(m1 = 9000kg) is moving to your left with a speed of 9m/s. Two
seperated empty train cars (m2 & m3 = 3000kg each) are on the
same track moving to the right, each with a speed of 3m/s. There
are two succesive collisions. First m1 and m2 hit and stick
together. That pair (m1 & m2) then runs into m3. In this second
collision, the air bag...

Two carts are on an air-track where friction is negligible. The
Incident Cart is moving at an initial velocity of 0.25080m/s, the
target cart is at rest. The Incident cart has a mass of 995.8 g and
the target cart has a mass of 490.3 g. The carts stick together,
the final velocity after collision is 0.077302 m/s. The collision
is considered inelastic.

Two frictionless carts collide and stick together in a perfectly
inelastic collision, due to a magnetic or mechanical coupling, on a
one-dimensional track. Cart 1 has mass 200 grams and an initial
velocity of 2 m/s. Cart 2 has mass 900 g, and is initially
stationary. What is the velocity of the two carts together after
the collision?

An object of mass m1 approaches with velocity v1 another object
of mass m2, which is at rest, next to a spring having force
constant k. The spring is fixed to a wall and m2 can compress the
spring. This is one-dim horizontal collision without friction. We
consider two collision scenarios, one which is perfectly inelastic,
and the other which is elastic. (a) In the first collision case the
object m1 strikes m2 and sticks. Moving together, they compress the...
