-
- A small mass m1 = 0.001 kg initially moving with speed
v1 = 2001 m/s
collides with and sticks to a larger mass m2 = 1.000 kg
initially at rest. What is the final speed of the two-mass
combination?
- What was the initial kinetic energy of the small mass before the
collision?
- What is the kinetic energy of the two-mass combination after the
collision?
- An object of mass m and initial speed v0
sliding on a horizontal
frictionless surface encounters a frictionless ramp. To what vertical
height will the object rise before coming to rest?
