1. Two freight cars, each with a mass of 3.0 x 10^5 kg, collide and stick together. Their final speed is 1.1 m/s. 2. A 0.105 kg hockey puck moving at 24 m/s is caught by a 75 kg goalie at rest, causing the goalie to slide at 3.125 m/s. 3. A 0.035 kg bullet strikes a stationary 5 kg piece of lumber and embeds itself, sending them off together at 8.6 m/s. The bullet's original speed was 43.301 m/s.

1D Collision Practice Problems L

(Label each as elastic, inelastic, or explosion)

inelastic 1. Two freight cars, each with a mass of 3.0 x 10 5 kg, collide and stick together. One car
was initially moving at 2.2 m/s, and the other was at rest. What is their final speed?

1.1m/s

elastic 2. A 0.105 kg hockey puck moving at 24 m/s is caught and held by a 75 kg goalie at rest.
With what speed does the goalie slide on the ice after catching the puck?

3.125m/s

3. A .035 kg bullet strikes a 5 kg stationary piece of lumber and embeds itself in the wood.
explosion The piece of lumber and the bullet fly off together at 8.6 m/s. What is the speed of the
bullet before it struck the lumber?
5.035(8.6)= 43.301

4. A .035 kg bullet moving at 475 m/s strikes a 2.5 kg bag of flour at rest on ice. The bullet
explosion passes through the bag and exits it a 275 m/s. How fast is the bag moving when the
bullet exits?

2.8m/s
5. The bullet in the previous problem strikes a 2.5 kg steel ball that is at rest. After the
collision, the bullet bounces backward at 5 m/s. How fast is the ball moving when the
elastic
bullet bounces backward?

9.695m/s
6. A 4 kg model rocket sitting on the launch pad is launched, expelling burned fuel with a
mass of .05kg at a speed of 625 m/s. What is the velocity of the rocket after the fuel has
burned?

7. A thread connects a 1.5 kg cart and a 4.5 kg cart. Both carts are at rest. After the thread
is burned, a compressed spring pushes the carts apart, giving the 1.5 kg cart a velocity of
.27 m/s to the left. What is the velocity of the 4.5 kg cart?

-.405
8. Marble C, with mass .005kg, moves at a speed of .2 m/s. It collides with a second
marble D, with mass .01kg, moving at .1 m/s in the same direction. After the collision,
Marble C continues with the speed of .08 m/s in the same direction.
a. Sketch the situation. Identify the before and after situations.

b. Calculate the marbles momentums before the collision


.005*.2=.001
.01*.1=.001 both are .001 kg.m/s

c. Calculate the momentum of Marble C after the collision


.005*.08=.0004
.0004

d. Calculate the momentum of Marble D after the collision

.0011996
e. What is the speed of Marble D after the collision?

.11996
9. A 4.65kg launcher moving at 2m/s launches a .05 kg projectile with a horizontal velocity
of 647 m/s. What is the launcher’s velocity after the launch?
