Two ice hockey pucks collide on a frictionless surface. In considering conservation of momentum of the two-puck system, we would break the total momentum into x and y components and apply conservation rules in each direction separately. If we also use conservation of kinetic energy, A) We also would need to break KE into x and y components and apply conservation of kinetic energy in each direction separately. B) We would not need to break KE into x and y components because we do this for momentum. C) We would not need to break KE into x and y components because KE is a vector. D) We would not need to break KE into x and y components because KE has no direction associated with it. E) None of the above ________2. A cart moves up an inclined plane without any friction.

A 3.5 gram bullet is fired horizontally at two blocks resting on a smooth tabletop (no friction). See the figure below. The bullet passes through the first block with has a mass of 1.2 kg and embeds itself in the second, with a mass of 1.8 kg. Speeds of 0.63 m/s and 1.4 m/s respectively are imparted to the blocks. Neglect the mass removed from the first block by the bullet. A) What is the momentum of block A after the bullet passes through it? B) What is the total momentum of block B and the bullet after the bullet is embedded in the block? C) What was the speed of the bullet after it had passed through block A but before it hit block B? 2. Consider the elevator shown to the left. It has a mass of 200 kg and is moving downward at 5 m/s when the cable breaks. Fortunately, there is a safety stopping mechanism at the bottom of the elevator shaft, 40 meters below the bottom of the elevator. The safety stop is basically just a very stiff spring (k=2500 N/m). M= 200 kg V= 5 m/s A) How fast is the elevator moving just before it hits the spring? (There is no friction between the elevator and the shaft) 40 m k = 2500 N/m B)The elevator then hits the spring (k=2500 N/m) and the spring is compressed by 7 meters. How fast is the elevator going at that point? ( There is still no friction between the elevator and the shaft) C) If there is a frictional force of 500 N between the elevator and the shaft, the elevator would be moving at about 25 m/s when it hit the spring. In this case, how fast is the elevator going once the spring has been compressed by 7 meters? (There is now a 500 N frictional force between the elevator and the shaft- along the entire shaft, including the part where the spring is located)
