11. Two magnets are sliding towards each other. One of the magnets, which has a mass of 125 grams, is moving in the positive x-direction at a speed of 7.33 m/s. The other magnet, which has a mass of 85.0 grams, is moving in the negative x-direction at a speed of 11.9 m/s. When they collide, they bind together, and move as a single unit. What is the velocity of this single unit immediately after the collision?

In a laboratory experiment, an electron with a kinetic energy of 50.5 keV is shot toward another electron initially at rest (Fig. P11.50). (1 eV = 1.602 1019 J) The collision is elastic. The initially moving electron is deflected by the collision. a. Is it possible for the initially stationary electron to remain at rest after the collision? Explain. b. The initially moving electron is detected at an angle of 40.0 from its original path. What is the speed of each electron after the collision? FIGURE P11.50
q34. A 2 kg object moving at 3 m/s collides with a 4 kg object that is stationary.

If a cart of mass 350 grams moving at speed of 4.5 m/s hits an end-stop and rebounds at a speed of 3.2 m/s, what is the change in momentum, in units of kg.m/s? A cart has the rubber bumper attached to the force sensor, and it moves and collides with an end-stop. In the collision, it suffers a change in momentum = 4.05 kg.m/s, and the time during which the collision takes place is 0.182 seconds. Calculate the average force applied on the cart by the bumper, in newtons.
A 20 gg ball of clay traveling east at 2.0 m/sm/s collides with a 20 gg ball of clay traveling north at 2.0 m/sm/s. What is the speed of the resulting 40 gg ball of clay? Express your answer with the appropriate units.
Two carts in a physics lab roll on a level track, with negligible friction. These carts have small magnets at their ends, so that when they collide, they stick together. The first cart has a mass of 675 grams and is rolling at 6.5 m/s to the right; the second has a mass of 500 grams and is rolling at 1.33 m/s, also to the right. After the collision, what is the velocity of the two joined carts? SEMESTE MATE
A marble with mass mA = 2.5 [g] moves eastward with speed VA = 1.75 [m/s]. It then collides with another marble of mass mg = 1.25 [g] and is moving northward with a speed VB = 2.30 [m/s]. After the collision, marble A now moves at 50° north of east, while marble B moves at 20° south of east. 1 A. What is the speed of marble A after the collision? B. What is the speed of marble B after the collision? C. Is energy lost or gained in the system?
