In an elastic collision, energy is conserved.
A train car has a mass of 10,000 kg and is moving at +3.0 m/s. It strikes an identical train car that is at rest. The train cars combine.
Which are examples of perfectly inelastic collisions? Check all that apply.a baseball bouncing off a bat bumper cars bumping off of each othera cue ball hitting an eight ball and stoppinga plane landing on an aircraft carrierrain sticking to a windowtwo train cars coupling together
Which equation best describes the law of conservation of momentum?
A bowling ball has an initial momentum of +30 kg m/s and hits a stationary bowling pin. After the collision, the bowling ball leaves with a momentum of +13 kg • m/s.
For a movie stunt, an empty truck with a mass of 2000 kg goes 10 m/s and runs into a stopped car of mass 1000 kg. The truck then keeps moving and pushes the car along with it.
A girl is standing still in the middle of a baseball field. The girl catches the baseball and begins to move in the same direction as the thrown ball.
A rubber bullet of mass m is fired from a rifle into a stationary block of 25 m. The bullet remains in the block and both the bullet and the block move off with a common velocity. Assume this is an inelastic collision in a closed system.
A basketball player passes a ball to a teammate at a velocity of 6 m/s. The ball has a mass of 0.51 kg. If the original player has a mass of 59 kg and there is no net force on the system, what is the velocity of the player after releasing the ball? Let a positive velocity be in the direction of the pass.
