Two spheres A and B of the same radius and of masses 3m and m respectively lie at rest on a smooth horizontal floor in a line perpendicular to a vertical wall with B nearer to the wall. Sphere A is projected with speed u and collides directly with B. B then moves to strike the wall directly and after rebounding from the wall, it collides directly again with A. The coefficients of restitution between the spheres is and between B and the wall is Find the loss in kinetic energy due to the impacts.

A uniform rod of mass 200 g and length 100 cm is free to rotate in a horizontal plane around a fixed vertical axis through its center, perpendicular to its length. Two small beads, each of mass 20 g, are mounted in grooves along the rod. Initially, the two beads are held by catches on opposite sides of the rod’s center, 10 cm from the axis of rotation. With the beads in this position, the rod is rotating with an angular velocity of 10.0 rad/s. When the catches are released, the beads slide outward along the rod. (a) What is the rod’s angular velocity when the beads reach the ends of the rod? (b) What is the rod’s angular velocity if the beads fly off the rod?
If 1 of the Earth’s mass were transferred to the Moon, how far would the center of mass of the Earth-Moon-population system move? The mass of the Earth is 5.971024kg and that of the Moon is 7.341022kg . The radius of the Moon’s orbit is about 3.84105m .
Two asteroids collide and stick together. The first asteroid has mass of 15103kg and is initially moving at 770 m/s. The second asteroid has mass of 20103kg and is moving at 1020 m/s. Their initial velocities made an angle of 20 with respect to each other. What is the final speed and direction with respect to the velocity of the first asteroid?
An average-sized asteroid located 5.0107km from Earth with mass 2.01013kg is detected headed directly toward Earth with speed of 2.0km/s . What will its speed be just before it hits our atmosphere? (You may ignore the size of the asteroid.)
