A 3.0 kg object moving at 8.0m/s in the positive x direction, has a one dimensional elastic collision with an object (mass = 5.0kg) initially at rest. After the collision the object of 5.0kg has a velocity of 6m/s in the positive x direction. Determine the SUM of the system's initial momenta (kg m/s) relative to the system's center of mass.

A .450-kg ice puck, moving east with a speed of 3.00 m/s, has a head on collision with a 0.900-kg puck initially at rest. Assuming a perfectly elastic collision, what will be the speed and direction of each object after the collision?

One object is at rest, and another is moving. The 2 collide in aone-dimensional, completely inelastic collision. In other words,they stick together after the collision and move off with a commonvelocity. Momentum is conserved. The speed of the object that ismoving initially is 24 m/s. The masses of the 2 objects are 2.7 and8.1 kg. Determine the final speed of the two-object system afterthe collision for the case a) when the large-mass object is the onemoving initially and the case b) when the small-mass object is theone moving initially.
