Analysis of an explosion

1. suppose that 2 carts have equal masses, m and that they both have velcro bumpers. Suppose that one of the carts will have a spring that can be compressed, thus mechanical energy stored (can be converted in kinetic). Then, you compress the spring and place both carts at the middle of the track. suppose that you release the spring.

a) is the collision elastic?

b) what is the total kinetic energy of the system before releasing the spring and how do you compare the speeds of the cart after the collision?

c) suppose that the speed of each cart is v write an expression for the total kinetic energy after the explosion, and does the model of explosion resemble an elastic or inelastic collision?

d) suppose that there are three carts each of mass m and velcro bumpers placed separately on a track. If you push one cart toward the other with a velocity of v, what is the speed of eaxh when they all move together?

Suppose you have a concentrated solution (S1) with a concentration equal to 1 M. You use their solution to make more dilute solutions S2-S6. Complete the following table, which describes the solution process. NOTE: Not all of the solutions are diluted S1; some are made from solutions that are derived from S1. The equation C1V1 = C2V2 should be used as a starting point for calculation. You can assume all volumes are additive. S2 is shown as an example. Solution...

1. Suppose we have two blocks of masses m1 and m2. The block with mass m1 is moving towards block m2 at speed v. After the collision, we measure the total kinetic energy and find that the total kinetic energy after the collision is m2/(m1+m2) less than the kinetic energy before the collision. Find the final speeds of the two blocks. What type of collision is this? 2. Explain, in words, how we know that a freely spinning asteroid in...
