Train cars are coupled together by being bumped into one another. Suppose two loaded train cars are moving toward one another, the first having a mass of 1.50×105 kg and a velocity of (0.30 m/s)i^, and the second having a mass of 1.10×105 kg and a velocity of −(0.12 m/s)i^. What is their final velocity?

part 1 of 2 A block of mass 1 kg and one of mass 7 kg are connected by a massless string over a pulley that is in the shape of a disk having a radius of 0.39 m, and a mass of 9 kg. In addition, the blocks are allowed to move on a fixed block-wedge of angle 31∘, as shown. The coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.25 for both blocks. What is the acceleration of the two blocks? The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s2. Assume the positive direction is to the right. Answer in units of m/s2. part 2 of 2 Find the tension in the horizontal part of the string. Answer in units of N.

In this problem we will consider the collision of two cars initially moving at right angles. We assume that after the collision the cars stick together and travel off as a single unit. The collision is therefore completely inelastic. As shown below, two cars collide. Car one has an initial mass and velocity of m1 = 1,140 kg, and v1 = 15.2 m/s. Car two has a mass of m2 = 1,570 kg and an initial velocity of v2 = 22.4 m/s. Find the magnitude and direction of the final two car system's momentum. Figure 2. Two cars collide at a right angle, car one is moving to the left, and car two is moving upward.

A 4.41-g bullet is moving horizontally with a velocity of +354 m/s, where the sign + indicates that it is moving to the right (see part a of the drawing). The bullet is approaching two blocks resting on a horizontal frictionless surface. Air resistance is negligible. The bullet passes completely through the first block (an inelastic collision) and embeds itself in the second one, as indicated in part b. Note that both blocks are moving after the collision with the bullet. The mass of the first block is 1199 g, and its velocity is +0.644 m/s after the bullet passes through it. The mass of the second block is 1576 g . (a) What is the velocity of the second block after the bullet imbeds itself? (b) Find the ratio of the total kinetic energy after the collision to that before the collision. (a) Before collision (b) After collision (a) vblock2 = Number Units (b) KEafter/KEbefore = Number Units
