  • Q1
    A 2.0 kg arrow is fired 10 m/s into a stationary 10 kg block of ice as shown below. The arrow sticks into the block of ice. (Nonelastic collision) What is the velocity of the arrow & ice together when the collision has occurred? (m1v1 + m2v2= (m1+m2)(v)

  • Q2
    A 7.0 kg bowling ball traveling at 2.0 m/s collides with a stationary 0.5 kg ball pin in an Elastic collision. The bowling ball leaves the collision with a velocity of 1.5 m/s traveling in the same direction as the ball pin. How fast (velocity) did the bowling pin travel when it was hit? {(m1i v1i +m2i v2i) = m1f v1f + m2f v2f}

  • Q5
    As shown below, two 100 kg astronauts are floating in space. The first astronaut is moving at 4 m/s while the second is at rest. The two astronauts collide. Both astronauts are now moving at 2 m/s. Based on the above information and images, which of the following statements is true?
    Question Image
