As the drawing illustrates, two disks with masses m₁ and m₂ are moving horizontally to the right at a speed of vo. They are on an airhockey table, which supports them with an essentially frictionless cushion of air. They move as a unit, with a compressed spring between them, which has a negligible mass. Then the spring is released and allowed to push the disks outward. Consider the situation where disk 1 comes to a momentary halt shortly after the spring is released. Assuming that m₁ = 1.3 kg, m₂ = 2.5 kg, and vo= +4.4 m/s, find the velocity of disk 2 at that moment. Vf2 = i m1 m2 VO

Check Your Understanding There is a second solution to the system of equations solved in this example (because the energy equation is quadratic): v1.f=-2.5m/s , v2.f=0 . This solution is unacceptable on physical grounds; what’s with it?
As the drawing illustrates, two disks with masses m, and m2 are moving horizontally to the right at a speed of vo. They are on an airhockey table, which supports them with an essentially frictionless cushion of air. They move as a unit, with a compressed spring between them, which has.a negligible mass. Then the spring is released and allowed to push the disks outward. Consider the situation where disk 1 comes to a momentary halt shortly after the spring is released. Assuming that m, = 1.5 kg, m2 = 2.2 kg, and vo = +5.9 m/s, find the velocity of disk 2 at that moment. m2 Vr2
As the drawing illustrates, two disks with masses m₁ and må are moving horizontally to the right at a speed of vº. They are on an airhockey table, which supports them with an essentially frictionless cushion of air. They move as a unit, with a compressed spring between them, which has a negligible mass. Then the spring is released and allowed to push the disks outward. Consider the situation where disk 1 comes to a momentary halt shortly after the spring is released. Assuming that m₁ = 1.5 kg, m₂ = 2.3 kg, and vō = +4.8 m/s, find the velocity of disk 2 at that moment. Vf2 = m1 m2 VO
Consider a homogeneous billiard ball of mass m and radius R thatmoves on horizontal table. Gravity acts downward. The coefficientof kinetic friction between the ball and the table is ?, and you are toassume that there is no work done by friction for pure rolling motion.At time ? = 0, the ball is struck with cue, which delivers a force pulseof short duration.Its impulse is ? = ∫-E+E F(t) dt a) The point of contact between the cue and the ball is at the“equator” and the direction of the force is toward the center ofthe ball. Calculate the time at which pure rolling begins. What isthe final speed of the center of mass of the ball? b) At what height ℎ above the center must the cue strike the ball sothat rolling motion starts immediately (see Figure)

A stationary but movable 400 kg cannon is fired, and the 10 kg cannonball moves off to the right with a velocity of 20.0 m/s . What is the cannon's speed in m/s (neglecting friction or any restraints )?
A 5.00-kg block is moving at 5.00 m/s along a horizontal frictionless surface toward an ideal massless spring that is attached to a wall. After the block collides with the spring, it keeps moving rightwards until the spring reaches its maximum compression of 1.68 m. After reaching maximum compression, the block and spring come to rest momentarily, and then move leftwards. While it is moving to the left, what is the speed of the block when it has moved so that the spring is compressed to only one-half of the maximum distance?
QIIII: A thin uniform rod of mass Mr and length L is suspended from the ceiling and mounted on a horizontal frictionless axle at the top. The rod is initially at rest in its equilibrium position when a ball of play dough, of mass mb, strikes the rod at its lower end and remains stuck to the rod. The sticky ball is thrown with an initial speed v0 at a 60 degree angle from the horizontal direction, and strikes the rod when it reaches the top of its trajectory, as shown in Fig.4. The acceleration due to gravity has magnitude g and air resistance is negligible. a. Determine the velocity of the ball of play dough right before it sticks to the rod. Use the x- y coordinate system defined in Fig.4. b. Determine the angular velocity of the rod+ball system right after the collision. Take counterclockwise as positive. c. - Establish the differential equation satisfied by the rod+ball system after the collision and determine the angular frequency of the system. You may assume that the small…
A box of mass 4.8 kg slides on a horizontal frictionless table and collides with another box of mass 3.0 kg, which is initially at rest at the edge of the table. The speed of the 4.8 kg box before collision is 4.0 ms−1, and the height of the table is 0.80 m. If the two boxes stick together after colliding, what is their kinetic energy at the instant just before they strike the floor?
