A curling stone A (mA = 25 kg) is moving at 3.0 m/s [E] down the centre line of the ice toward an opponent's stone B (mB = 15 kg), initially at rest. Immediately after this collision, stone A continues moving with a velocity of 1.8 m/s [E 22° N]. What is the velocity of stone B after the collision?

A curling stone of mass 20 kg and initially traveling at 2.0 m/s collides head-on with a lighter stone of mass 15 kg which is initially at rest. After the collision the struck stone has a speed of 1.6 m/s in the same direction as the initial velocity of the heavy stone. a) What is the final velocity of the heavy stone? b) Is this collision elastic? Explain. If the collision is not elastic, find the macroscopic energy lost in the collision

A 19 kg curling stone travels at 3 m/s [N] down the center line of the ice toward an opponent's stone (19 kg) that is at rest. It strikes the opponent's stone and moves off to the side at 1.8 m/s [N200W]. What is the velocity of the opponent's stone after the collision?
