Example 1:The three air carts shown below have masses, reading from left to right, of m , 2m, and 4m respectively. Initially, the cart on right is at rest, whereas the other two carts are moving to the right with speed vo. All carts have putty bumpers that give completely inelastic collisions. The final speed of the carts are: Physics 1D03 - Lecture 27
Example 2 – the ballistic pendulum:A bullet with velocity vb and mass m hits a stationarywooden block of mass M hanging on a string. Given that theblock swings through a height h, determine the initial speed of the bullet. Physics 1D03 - Lecture 27
Example 3 –Tarzan:To save a student from falling into one of the construction holes at McMaster, Tarzan (m=100kg) swings from a 5m long rope that makes an angle of 60 degrees with the horizontal initially. If the student with her physics books has a mass of 50kg, to what new height will they swing together? Physics 1D03 - Lecture 27
Example 4:A block of mass m1=1.6kg initially moving right with a speed of 4m/s on frictionless horizontal surface collides with a spring attached to a second block of mass m2=2.1kg initially moving to the left at 2.5m/s. The spring constant is 600N/m. Q: What type of a collision is this? a) Find the velocities of the blocks after the collision.b) Determine the maximum compression of the spring.

Quiz An object of mass 3m, initially at rest, explodes breaking into two fragments of mass m and 2m respectively. Which one of the following statements concerning the fragments after the explosion is true? • They may fly off at right angles. • The may fly off in the same direction. • The smaller fragment will have twice the speed of the larger fragment. • The larger fragment will have twice the speed of the smaler fragment. • The smaller fragment will have four times the speed of the larger fragment Physics 1D03 - Lecture 27
Quiz:The figure below shows four identical blocks on a frictionless floor. • Initially blocks a and b are moving rightward and block c and d are • moving leftward, each with speed v. A series of elastic collisions • occurs. After the last collision, the speeds and directions of motions • of each blocks are: • A) a and b move leftward with v/2, and c and d rightward with v/2. • B) a and b move leftward with v, and c and d rightward with v. • C) b and c at rest and a leftward with v and d rightward with v. • D) b and c at rest and a leftward with 2v and d rightward with 2v. • E) they all have v=0 after the collisions Physics 1D03 - Lecture 27
