Question
1. A ball of mass 2 kg is moving with a velocity of 12m/s collides with a stationary ball of mass 6 kg and comes to rest.Calculate velocity of ball of mass 6kg after collision. 2. A 10.0g bullet is fired into a stationary block of wood (m=5.00kg) . The bullet sticks into the block, and the speed of the bullet-phis combination immedately after collision is 0.600m/s What was the original speed of the bullet? 3. A block of mass m_(1)=1.6kg initially moving to the right with a speed of 4m/s on a horizontal frictionless track collides with a block of mass m_(2)=2.1kg initially moving to the left with speed of 2.5m/s If the collision is elastic, find the velocities of the two block after collision? 4. A partcle of mass 4.Okg initially moving with velocity of 2.0m/s collides with a partcle of mass 6.Okg, initially moving velocity of -4m/s What are the velocity of the two particle after collision? 5. A 4kg block moving right at 6m/s collides elastically with a 2kg moving at 3m/s left, find final velocities the blocks.

Explanation
## Step1: Identify Conservation Laws### For all the problems, apply conservation of momentum and energy (where applicable).## Step2: Use Momentum Conservation Formula### Apply
before and after the collision.# Problem 1:## Step3: Initial and Final Parameters### Mass of moving ball
,
,
and stationary ball
,
. Use conservation of momentum.
m_1 v_{1i} + m_2 v_{2i} = m_1 v_{1f} + m_2 v_{2f}
2 \cdot 12 + 6 \cdot 0 = 2 \cdot 0 + 6 \cdot v_{2f}
24 = 6v_{2f}
## Step4: Solve for
###
v_{2f} = 4 \text{ m/s}
# Problem 2:## Step3: Initial and Final Parameters### Bullet mass
, and block mass
, combined velocity
. Use conservation of momentum:
m_1 v_{1i} + m_2 v_{2i} = (m_1 + m_2)v_f
0.01 v_{1i} + 5 \cdot 0 = (0.01 + 5) \cdot 0.6
## Step4: Solve for
###
0.01 v_{1i} = 3.006
v_{1i} = 600 \text{ m/s}

unknown. Apply conservation of momentum:
m_1 v_{1i} + m_2 v_{2i} = m_1 v_{1f} + m_2 v_{2f}
1.6 \cdot 4 + 2.1 \cdot -2.5 = 1.6 v_{1f} + 2.1 v_{2f}
6.4 - 5.25 = 1.6 v_{1f} + 2.1 v_{2f}
## Step4: Solve Simultaneous Equations### Apply:
v_{1i} - v_{2i} = v_{2f} - v_{1f}
4 - (-2.5) = v_{2f} - v_{1f}
## Final Velocities:###

. Use conservation of momentum:
m_1 v_{1i} + m_2 v_{2i} = (m_1 + m_2)v_f
## Step4: Solve for
###
4 \cdot 2 + 6 \cdot (-4) = (4+6)v_f
8 - 24 = 10v_f
v_f = -1.6 \text{ m/s}

unknown. Apply conservation of momentum:
m_1 v_{1i} + m_2 v_{2i} = m_1 v_{1f} + m_2 v_{2f}
4 \cdot 6 + 2 \cdot -3 = 4 v_{1f} + 2 v_{2f}
24 - 6 = 4 v_{1f} + 2 v_{2f}
## Step4: Solve Simultaneous Equations### Further applying relative velocity:
v_{1i} - v_{2i} = v_{2f} - v_{1f}
6 - (-3) = v_{2f} - v_{1f}
## Final Velocities:###
