Two particles collide, one of which was initially moving and the other initially at rest.
a. Is it possible for both particles to be at rest after the collision? Give an example in which this happens, or explain why it can’t happen.
b. Is it possible for one particle to be at rest after the collision? Give an example in which this happens, or explain why it can’t happen.
A two-stage rocket is traveling at 1200 m/s with respect to the earth when the first stage runs out of fuel. Explosive bolts release the first stage and push it backward with a speed of 35 m/s relative to the second stage. The first stage is three times as massive as the second stage. What is the speed of the second stage after the separation?
Fred (mass ) is running with the football at a speed of when he is met head-on by Brutus (mass ), who is moving at . Brutus grabs Fred in a tight grip, and they fall to the ground. Which way do they slide, and how far? The coefficient of kinetic friction between football uniforms and Astroturf is .
A 500 g particle has velocity at . Force , where t is in s, is exerted on the particle between. This force increases from 0 N at and then back to . What is the particle’s velocity at t = 2 s?
A ball of clay traveling at speed hits and sticks to a brick sitting at rest on a frictionless surface.
