a)If Olaf catches the ball, with what speed vf do Olaf and the ball move afterward? Express your answer numerically in meters per second. b) If the ball hits Olaf and bounces off his chest horizontally at 8.30 m/sm/s in the opposite direction, what is his speed vf after the collision? Express your answer numerically in meters per second.
The three balls in the overhead are identical. Balls 2 and 3 touch each other and are aligned perpendicular to the path of ball 1. The velocity of ball 1 has magnitude v0 = 10 m/s and is directed at the contact point of balls 1 and 2. After the collision, what are the (a) speed and (b) direction of the velocity of ball 2, the (c) speed and (d) direction of the velocity of ball 3, and the (e) speed and (f) direction of the velocity of ball 1? (Hint:With friction absent, each impulse is directed along the line connecting the centers of the colliding balls, normal to the colliding surfaces.)
A truck (M = 2500kg) collides with a car (m = 1000kg) at a 4-way intersection. Fortunately nobody gets hurt. Suppose the car is going north at 20m/s ( about 45mph) and the truck is coming from the east at 10m/s ( about 22mph). The car and truck stick together after the %3D collision. (a) Find the speed and direction of the car and truck immediately after the collision. (b) Approximately how much energy went into the deformation of the metal that caused the two vehicles to stick together? (c) What assumptions did you make? The
Georgia, standing on the back of the pick-up truck, wants to throw her last piece of balut to her mortal enemy, Emma. before the truck started moving, the two women are separated by a distance of 2 m. For two seconds, the truck uniformly accelerated until it reached a velocity of 4 m/s which it then maintained. With hatred, Georgia throws the last piece of balut with a velocity of 12.5 m/s at an angle of 40° from horizontal, measured relative to the truck. If she makes the throw 2.8 seconds after the truck started moving, will she be able to hit Emma? Note that Emma is at rest due to exhaustion from their earlier fight and she cannot dodge the balut. Set your origin at point A. Neglect air resistance.
Two identical objects with the same initial speed collide and stick together. If the composite object moves with half the initial speed of either object, what was the angle between the initial velocities? O 200 O 30° O 45° 60° 120°
In a game of curling, a collision occurs between two stones of equal mass. The object stone is initially at rest. After the collision, the stone that is thrown hasa speed of 0.56m/s in some direction, represented by q. The object stone acquires a velocity vf2= 0.42m/s at an angle of f= 30.0o from the original direction of motion of the thrown stone. Determine the initial velocity of the thrown stone.
Two friends are playing billiards at an arcade center. One guy hit the cue ball to strike at another ball where it is initially at rest. After the collision caused by the ball that was at rest, the cue ball moves at 2.50 m/s along a line making an angle e=14.0° with its original direction of motion and the second balI has a speed of 1.50 m/s. Find the answer for Part a,b and c. (Note: Both balls have the same mass.) Part A: Find the angle 0 between the direction of the motion of the second ball and the original direction of motion of the cue ball. Part B: Find the cue ball's original speed? Part C: Figure out whether kinetic energy is conserved?
