Two projectiles with 50kg mass each are launched in opposite directions towards each other, both at an angle of 30 degrees off the horizontal. They both have the same initial velocity of 75m/s and they are separated by a distance of 200m.

a.) What is their combined initial kinetic energy?

b.) Right before they collide, how high off the ground are they?

c.) What is their total momentum here? (both directions)

d.) When they collide they stick together and lost kinetic energy. What is it now?

e.) How high does this combined projectile get?

f.) When the thing finally lands, what's the impact velocity?

Two particles approach each other with equal and opposite speed v. The mass of one particle is m, and the mass of the other particle is nm, where n is just a unitless number. Snapshots of the system before, during, and after the elastic collision are shown above. After the collision the first particle moves in the exact opposite direction with speed 2.40v, and the speed of the second particle is unknown. What is the value of n?

Two air track gliders of mass 400.0 g and 300.0 g are moving towards each other in opposite directions with speeds of 60.0 cm/s and 100.0 cm/s, respectively. Take the direction of the more massive glider as positive. Use units of "g" and "cm/s" in your calculations. Determine the velocity of each glider after the collision if the collision is elastic. (Use units of "g" and "cm/s" for this question.) The most "inelastic" collision would occur if the two gliders...
