I'm preparing for a test. Can anyone check my answer for all these questions? These are my questions:

1. A stationary curling stone is struck in a glancing collision by a second curling stone of equal mass. If the first stone moves away at a velocity of 0.92 m/s [N71oW] and the second stone moves away at a velocity of 1.25 m/s [N44oE], what was the initial velocity of the second stone? (5 marks)

2. A billiard ball (0.62 kg) with a velocity of 2.0 m/s [N] hits another ball and has a velocity of 1.7 m/s [E] after the collision. Determine the impulse on the ball and the average force exerted on it during the collision if the duration of the collision was 0.0072 s. (5 marks)

3. Two billiard balls of equal mass undergo a head on collision. The red ball is travelling at 2.1 m/s [right] and hits the blue ball travelling at 3.0 m/s [left]. If the speed of the red ball after the collision is 3.0 m/s [left], determine the velocity of the blue ball after the collision. (5 marks)

4. A car with a mass of 1800 kg is initially travelling with a velocity of 22 m/s [N] when it collides with a truck with a mass of 3200 kg traveling with a velocity of 14 m/s [E]. If the two vehicles become attached during the collision, determine their final velocity.

1) 1.20 m/s (West 89.9 degrees North)

2) 1.6275 (kg.m)/s (East 49.6 degrees South) and the force exerted is 226N (East 49.6 degrees South)

3) 2.1 m/s (right) is the velocity of the blue ball after the collision.

To check your answers for these questions, we can go through them one by one and explain how to obtain the correct solution for each question.

1. A stationary curling stone is struck in a glancing collision by a second curling stone of equal mass. If the first stone moves away at a velocity of 0.92 m/s [N71oW] and the second stone moves away at a velocity of 1.25 m/s [N44oE], what was the initial velocity of the second stone?

To find the initial velocity of the second stone, we need to understand that the collision between the two stones conserves their momentum. Momentum is given by mass multiplied by velocity. So, we can set up an equation using the principle of conservation of momentum.

Let's assume the initial velocity of the second stone is V.

The momentum before the collision is equal to the momentum after the collision:

(mass of the first stone) * (final velocity of the first stone) + (mass of the second stone) * (final velocity of the second stone) = (mass of the first stone) * (initial velocity of the first stone) + (mass of the second stone) * V

Substituting the given values:

(1st stone mass) * 0.92 m/s [N71oW] + (2nd stone mass) * 1.25 m/s [N44oE] = (1st stone mass) * (initial velocity of the first stone) + (2nd stone mass) * V

Now, solve the equation for V to find the initial velocity of the second stone.

2. A billiard ball (0.62 kg) with a velocity of 2.0 m/s [N] hits another ball and has a velocity of 1.7 m/s [E] after the collision. Determine the impulse on the ball and the average force exerted on it during the collision if the duration of the collision was 0.0072 s.

To find the impulse and average force exerted on the ball, we need to use the impulse-momentum principle. Impulse is defined as the change in momentum, and it can be calculated using the equation:

Impulse = (final momentum) - (initial momentum)

The average force exerted during the collision can be found using Newton's second law, which states that the force acting on an object is equal to the rate of change of momentum. Thus, we can use the equation:

Force = Impulse / Time

Plug in the provided values and calculate the impulse as well as the average force exerted on the ball during the collision.

3. Two billiard balls of equal mass undergo a head-on collision. The red ball is traveling at 2.1 m/s [right] and hits the blue ball traveling at 3.0 m/s [left]. If the speed of the red ball after the collision is 3.0 m/s [left], determine the velocity of the blue ball after the collision.

In a head-on collision, we can use the principle of conservation of momentum to solve for the post-collision velocities of the objects. The total momentum before the collision should be equal to the total momentum after the collision. From this principle, we can set up the following equation:

(mass of the red ball) * (initial velocity of the red ball) + (mass of the blue ball) * (initial velocity of the blue ball) = (mass of the red ball) * (final velocity of the red ball) + (mass of the blue ball) * (final velocity of the blue ball)

Substituting the given values:

(mass of red ball) * 2.1 m/s [right] + (mass of blue ball) * (-3.0 m/s [left]) = (mass of red ball) * (-3.0 m/s [left]) + (mass of blue ball) * (final velocity of the blue ball)

Now, solve for the final velocity of the blue ball.

4. A car with a mass of 1800 kg is initially traveling with a velocity of 22 m/s [N] when it collides with a truck with a mass of 3200 kg traveling with a velocity of 14 m/s [E]. If the two vehicles become attached during the collision, determine their final velocity.

To find the final velocity of the two vehicles after the collision, we need to apply the principle of conservation of momentum. The total momentum before the collision should be equal to the total momentum after the collision.

(mass of the car) * (initial velocity of the car) + (mass of the truck) * (initial velocity of the truck) = (mass of the car + mass of the truck) * (final velocity)

Substituting the given values:

(1800 kg) * (22 m/s [N]) + (3200 kg) * (14 m/s [E]) = (1800 kg + 3200 kg) * (final velocity)

Now, calculate the final velocity using this equation.

By following these steps and calculations, you can verify and check your answers for each of the given questions.
