Define: kinetic energy, gravitational potential energy, spring potential energy, work, and power. Also write the
basic equation involving each.

Assume mechanical energy in conserved during a collision between the following 3 objects. Object A is initially
moving with KE=15 J. Objects B and C are initially stopped. If Objects A and B each have KE=5 J after the
collision, how much kinetic energy does object C have after the collision? Also, why do you think the directions
of motion are not mentioned in this question?

Find the amount of energy lost in a 1D collision of 2 masses where mass A (5kg) starts at +5 m/s and strikes mass
B (10kg) initially at rest, knowing that they are stuck together after the collision. Note: Even though mechanical
energy is lost, total momentum is not.

Alter problem #3 such that the collision becomes elastic, and find the final velocities of each mass. Note: they
dont stick together in this case.

Two masses 2D inelastic collision. Mass A (10 kg) is traveling west at 15 m/s. Mass B (15 kg) is traveling north at
15 m/s. Determine the velocity (speed and direction) of the two masses after the collision as they move
together.
