An object with a mass of 47.3 g is moving uniformly with a velocity of 39.9 m/s along the positive x-axis. A second object, of mass 36.0 g, is moving at +8.9 m/s along the same line, in front of the first mass.

a) Using the usual sign conventions, what is the velocity of the centre-of-mass of the two objects?

b) What is the velocity of the first particle, in the zero momentum frame, after an elastic collision?

c) Using your answer from the previous question, determine the velocity in the laboratory frame, of the first particle after an elastic collision.

A bullet of mass 10.0 gram moving at a velocity of 336 m/s toward the right strikes an orange of mass 90.0 gram. The bullet passes through the orange and in the process pulls out 10.0 grams of orange innards. Assuming that this collision is elastic (i.e., that no kinetic energy is lost), what is the velocity of the rest of the remaining 80 grams of orange? Take rightward motion to be positive and leftward motion to be negative. Hint:...

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...
