An object (m = 500 g) with an initial speed of 0.2 m/s collides with another object (m = 1.5 kg) which was at rest before the collision. Calculate the resulting speed for an inelastic collision (when they stick together).

2. A small object (m = 200 g) collides elastically with a larger object (m = 1000 g), which was at rest before the collision. The incoming speed of the smaller object was 1.0 m/s. The speed of the larger object after the collision is 0.33 m/s. Calculate the resulting speed and determine the direction for the smaller object after the collision when it rebounds. (Watch out for the directions of the motions and use respective signs for the velocities and momentums.)

Use the theory of conservation of momentum for your calculations.

A small object with mass m, charge q, and initial speed v0 = 6.00×103 m/s is projected into a uniform electric field between two parallel metal plates of length 26.0 cm (Figure 1). The electric field between the plates is directed downward and has magnitude E = 700 N/C . Assume that the field is zero outside the region between the plates. The separation between the plates is large enough for the object to pass between the plates without hitting...
