Two balls traveling in opposite directions collide head on. Ball1 is traveling in the positive x direction at a speed of v1 = 4.50 m/s and mass of m1 = 2.0 Kg. Ball2 is traveling in the negative x direction at a speed of v2 = -6.50 m/s and a mass of m2 = 4.0 Kg. a) If we assume that the two balls are made of clay and become one mass during the collision what is their combined final...

Two-car, 2-D collision. Two cars with masses m1 = 1200 kg and m2 = 1500 kg are approaching an intersection. Car 1 has a velocity v1 = 15.0 m/s towards the east and car 2 has a velocity v2 = 20.0 m/s towards the north. The two cars reach the intersection at the same time and collide and lock bumpers and after the collision travel as a single wreckage. (a) What is the magnitude and direction of their velocity after...

Two identical cars collide at an intersection(m=1500kg). Car 1 is traveling east with a speed of 16 m/s and car 2 is traveling north with a speed of 12 m/s. Immediately after the collison, car 1 travels with a speed of 8 m/s in a direction 60 north of east. The cars do not stick together. (a) What is the speed and direction of travel for car 2 after the collision? (b) What is the change in kinetic energy of...

Two gliders collide head-on. In this case the bumpers work very well and the collision is elastic. Initially the heavy glider has a speed of 2.5 m/s and the light glider a speed of 1.8 m/s. The heavy glider’s mass is 0.300 kg and the light glider’s mass is 0.200 kg. You may treat the light glider as going in the +x direction initially and the heavy glider going in the –x direction. What is the velocity of the light...

Two objects collide head on. Assume they have equal masses but unequal velocities, such that the one coming in from the right is moving at 95.97 m/s toward the left, and the one coming in from the left is moving at 39.75 m/s toward the right. After the collision, what is the velocity of the one that came in from the left? (Use + to the right and - to the left to distinguish direction in your answer.)
