1.) A ball of mass (m) traveling at a speed (v) hits and sticks to a block of mass (M) sitting at rest on a frictionless table. Answers for this problem will be in terms of the variables m, v, M and g. Part A: What is speed of the block after the collision? Part B: Show that the mechanical energy is not conserved in this collision. What percentage of the ball’s initial kinetic energy is lost? Include a Free Body Diagram with your answer.

1. A rubber ball with a mass of 1.35 kg is stuck in a tree. To knock it out, you throw a golf ball with a mass of 0.0450 kg at it. The golf ball hits the rubber ball with a speed of 20.0 m/s and bounces off with a speed of 10.0 m/s. The golf ball is moving in the same direction horizontally after the collision as it was before it hit the rubber ball. When the golf ball...

A rubber block (m= 20.0g) slides along a frictionless table at v=2.00m/s directly towards a steel block (m= 0.0500kg), which is at rest on the table. After an inelastic collision, in which 25% of the system's kinetic energy is lost, the rubber block rebounds the way it came at a reduced speed. Determine the speed of each block after the collision.

A ball with mass M = 5 kg is moving with speed V=10 m/s and collides with another ball with mass m = 2.5 kg which is initially stationary. There is no other force such as gravity acting on the two balls. After the collision, both balls move at angle θ=30 degrees relative to initial direction of motion of the ball with mass M = 5 kg. a) What are the speeds of the two balls after the collision? b)...
