A mass m = 1.05 kg slides without friction from rest on a surface making a quarter circle with radius R = 1.55 m as shown in Figure 1. Then it lands on the top surface of a cart with mass M = 11.3 kg, that slides without friction on a horizontal surface. (In practise this cart could be a slider on an air track). Between the top of the cart and the mass m, the coefficient of static friction is μs = 1.07 and the coefficient of kinetic friction is μk = 0.959. The mass m slides a distance along the top of the cart but does not fall off. Figure 1: Diagrammatic representation of a block of mass m at the top of a quarter-circle surface of radius R that slopes down and to the right with decreasing absolute gradient towards a cart of mass M. The cart itself is resting on a horizontal surface. Part 1) What is the speed of the mass m immediately before it lands on the cart, M? v = ms−1 Part 2) What is the speed of the cart, M, when there is no longer any relative movement between m and M? V = m/s Part 3) How much mechanical energy is lost during the collision? (while m comes to rest relative to M). ΔE = −J Enter a positive number in the box if the final mechanical energy is less than the initial mechanical energy.

A block of mass m = 1 kg is sliding at 2 m/s [E] on a frictionless surface. A curved frictionless ramp of unknown mass M is at rest on but not attached to the same frictionless surface, as shown at right. The block slides up the ramp after reaching it. The block rises to a maximum height h = 0.125 m on the ramp. What is the velocity of the block at the instant it is at that maximum vertical height? What is the velocity of the block at the instant the block loses contact with the ramp?

A cart filled with sand rolls at a speed of vcart = 1.4 m/s along a horizontal path without friction. A ball of mass m = 2.3 kg is thrown with a horizontal velocity of vball = 9.8 m/s toward the cart as shown in the figure below. The ball gets stuck in the sand. What is the velocity of the cart after the ball strikes it? The mass of the cart is 11 kg. (Assume the positive x direction is to the right. Express your answer in vector form.) m/s
