Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A 2 kg object moving with a speed of 5 m/s collides with a stationary object of mass 3 kg. Assuming a perfectly elastic collision, find the final velocities of both objects.
💡 Hint: Set up equations from momentum and energy conservation.
A vehicle traveling at 60 km/h comes to a halt due to a frictional force. Calculate the distance traveled before stopping if its mass is 1000 kg and the coefficient of friction is 0.6.
💡 Hint: Convert speed to m/s, then apply K=1/2 mv² and W=F x d.
