If a 250. gram cart moving to the right with a velocity of +.31 m/s collides inelastically with a 500. gram cart traveling to the left with a velocity of -.22 m/s, what is the total momentum of the system before the collision? What is the resulting velocity of the above two-cart system?
A 9.0 kg bowling ball races down the lane at 15 m/s before striking a bowling pin (at rest) with a mass of .85 kg. If the .85 kg pin bounces backward with a velocity of 45 m/s, what is the velocity of the bowling ball after the collision
Imagine you are ice skating with your friend. Both of you at rest, when you shove him/her away from you. You have a mass of 65 kg and he/she has a mass of 55kg. When you shove off, you move away with a velocity of 2.0 m/s. With what velocity does your friend move away from you?
