A billiard ball traveling at 5.00 m/s collides with an identical billiard ball initially at rest on the level table. The initially moving billiard ball (A) deflects 60° from its original direction while the other ball, which was initially at rest, travels 30° from the original direction of A. a)Find the speed of each of the masses A and B after the collision? b) Is the collision elastic or inelastic?
Two cars collide at an intersection. Car A�, with a mass of 1900 kgkg , is going from west to east, while car B�, of mass 1300 kgkg , is going from north to south at 14.0 m/sm/s . As a result of this collision, the two cars become enmeshed and move as one afterwards. In your role as an expert witness, you inspect the scene and determine that, after the collision, the enmeshed cars moved at an angle of 55.0 ∘∘ south of east from the point of impact.How fast were the enmeshed cars moving just after the collision?
One object is at rest, and another is moving. The two collide in a one-dimensional, completely inelastic collision. In other words, they stick together after the collision and move off with a common velocity. Momentum is conserved. The speed of the object that is moving initially is 29 m/s. The masses of the two objects are 2.8 and 8.8 kg. Determine the final speed of the two-object system after the collision for the case (a) when the large-mass object is the one moving initially and the case (b) when the small-mass object is the one moving initially.
A car and a small truck traveling at right angles to one another with the same speed collide and stick together. The truck's mass is roughly twice the car's mass. Sketch the direction of their momentum vector immediately after the collision. Explain your result.
A billiard player sends the cue ball toward a group of three balls that are initially at rest and in contact with one another. After the cue ball strikes the group, the four balls scatter, each traveling in a different direction with different speeds as shown in the figure below. If each ball has the same mass, 0.16 kg, determine the total momentum of the system consisting of the four balls immediately after the collision. (Assume v1 = 0.33 m/s, ?1 = 70°, v2 = 0.49 m/s, ?2 = 30°, v3 = 0.23 m/s, v4 = 0.48 m/s.)
