If you have an object hitting a stationary object of equal mass in an inelastic collision, what will happen?

a.

The objects will collide and move forward in the direction that the first object was moving in.
b.

The objects will collide and all momentum will transfer from the first object to the second object.
c.

The objects will collide and stay stationary.
d.

The objects will collide and bounce back.

One object is at rest, and another is moving. The two collide in a one-dimensional, completely inelastic collision. In other words, they stick together after the collision and move off with a common velocity. Momentum is conserved. The speed of the object that is moving initially is 30 m/s. The masses of the two objects are 3.0 and 7.6 kg. Determine the final speed of the two-object system after the collision for the case (a) when the large-mass object is...

One object is at rest, and another is moving. The two collide in a one-dimensional, completely inelastic collision. In other words, they stick together after the collision and move off with a common velocity. Momentum is conserved. The speed of the object that is moving initially is 24 m/s. The masses of the two objects are 2.3 and 7.1 kg. Determine the final speed of the two-object system after the collision for the case (a) when the large-mass object is...

Hi, please make up an example that matches this description Inelastic rotational 'collision' (analog of linear inelastic collisions): given initial rotational velocities of two objects, as well as enough information to determine moments-of-inertia, determine final rotational velocity, as well as heat generated in 'collision' when they 'collide' (e.g., hit each other and form a composite object). To do this, you will have to first calculate the final angular velocity of the composite object, using conservation of angular momentum, then calculate...

Two asteroids collide at a 90o angle.  Before the collision, one asteroid, with a mass of 15,000 kg, is moving with a velocity of 25 m/s to the right.  The other asteroid, with a mass of 25,000 kg, is moving with a velocity of 35 m/s in a downward direction.  They collide so that the first asteroid (the smaller one) hits the left side of the second asteroid, and then continues to move forward, but with only 1/5 of its original speed.  Find the...
