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.)
(Please include diagram or drawing) Two clay meteors, each with a mass m, collide in outer space and stick together. This collision occurs at a distance D from the center of the Earth. Following the collision, the combined meteors move towards the Earth. Before the collision: Meteor 1 has a velocity v1. Meteor 2 has a velocity v2. The velocities V1 and v2 are at right angles to each other. a) Calculate the fraction of kinetic energy lost during the collision of the two meteors. b) Determine the velocity of the stuck-together meteors just before they crash into the Earth assuming you know the mass and radius of earth. Air resistance can be neglected.
Two billiard balls of identical mass move toward each other as shown in the figure. Assume that the collision between them is perfectly elastic. If the initial velocities of the balls are v1i = +34.3 cm/s and v2i = −20.1 cm/s, what are the velocities of the balls after the collision? Assume friction and rotation are unimportant. (Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.) v1f = cm/s v2f = cm/s
Two blocks of masses m, = 2.00 kg and m, = 3.70 kg are released from rest at a height of h = 5.90 m on a frictionless track as shown in the figure below.
