Case 2: Two objects collide then stick to each other (join) moving as one object Before collision: m1u1 + m2u2 = (m1 + m2)V V: the final velocity for them Two particles A and B, of mass 3 kg and 2 kg respectively, are moving in the same direction on a smooth horizontal table when they collide directly. Immediately before the collision, the speed of A is 4 m/s and the speed of B is 1.5 m/s. In the collision, the particles join to form a single particle C. Find the speed of C immediately after the collision.

A particle with rest mass m and momentum mc/2 collides with a particle of the same rest mass that is initially at rest. After the collision, the original two particles have disappeared. Two other particles, each with rest mass m', are observed to leave the region of the collision at equal angles of 30Ā° with respect to the direction of the original moving particle, as shown below. (a) What is the speed of the original moving particle? (1 point) (b) What is the momentum of each of the two particles produced by the collision? (1 point) (Express your answer in terms of c and m for both (a) and (b).)

Two particles approach each other with equal and opposite speed, v. The mass of one particle is m, and the mass of the other particle is nm, where n is just a unitless number. Snapshots of the system before, during, and after the elastic collision are shown: Before Collision After After the collision, the first particle moves in the exact opposite direction with speed 1.85v, and the speed of the second particle, vnm,final, is unknown. What is the value of n?
