Aball of putty of mass m travels at speed v = 0.8 towards another ball of putty of mass 2m, which is at rest. after the collision the balls are stuck together and the combined lump has mass m' and speed v'. (a) by comparing the components of the total 4-momenta before and after the collision find the speed, v', of the combined lump after the collision. (b) by comparing the magnitudes of the total 4-momenta before and after the collision find the mass, m' of the combined lump after the collision. (c) quantitatively compare these results with those expected from a non-relativistic calculation. (d) is energy conserved in the non-relativistic calculation? is energy conserved in the relativistic calculation? explain your reasoning.

The man of mass m1 and the woman of mass m2 are standing on opposite ends of the platform of mass m0 which moves with negligible friction and is initially at rest with s = 0. the man and woman begin to approach each other. derive an expression for the displacement s of the platform when the two meet in terms of the displacement x1 of the man relative to the platform.

Consider two less-than-desirable options. in the first you are driving 30 mph and crash head-on into an identical car also going 30 mph. in the second option you are driving 30 mph and crash head-on into a stationary brick wall. in neither case does your car bounce off the thing it hits, and the collision time is the same in both cases. which of these two situations would result in the greatest impact force?
