Problem: Two pieces of space debris drift toward each other, collide, and stick together. The first piece has a mass of 50 kg and a velocity of < -10, 10, 4 > m/s just before the collision. The second piece has a mass of 70 kg and a velocity of < -10, 9, -3 >m/s just before the collision.

What is the velocity of their center of mass after the collision?

A 〈 -10.00, 9.42, -0.08 〉 m/s

B.〈 -10.00, 9.58, 1.08 〉 m/s

C. 〈 -10.00, 9.00, 1.00 〉 m/s

D. 〈 -21.14, 19.74, -1.34 〉 m/s

E. None of the above

Two pieces of clay are moving directly toward each other. When they collide, they stick together and move as one piece. One piece has a mass of 332 grams and is moving to the right at a speed of 1.16 m/s. The other piece has mass 606 grams and is moving to the left at a speed of 0.934 m/s. What fraction of the total initial kinetic energy is lost during the collision? In other words what is (KEi -...

Two cars collide at an icy intersection and stick together afterward. The first car has a mass of 1050 kg and was approaching at 9.00 m/s due south. The second car has a mass of 800 kg and was approaching at 20.0 m/s due west. (a) Calculate the final velocity of the cars. (Note that since both cars have an initial velocity, you cannot use the equations for conservation of momentum along the x-axis and y-axis; instead, you must look...
