A particle of mass m and initial velocity vo collides elastically with a particle of unknown mass M coming from the opposite direction as shown in the left-hand sketch below. After the collision, m has velocity vo/2 at right angles to the incident direction, and M moves off in the direction shown in the sketch. Find the ratio M/m. Vo Hints: The upper sketch is before the collision, and the lower sketch is after the collision. Both momentum P and M mechanical energy (kinetic energy K) are conserved in the elastic collision. カ

Two vehicles are approaching an intersection. One is a 2500 kgkg pickup traveling at 15.0 m/sm/s from east to west (the −x−x-direction), and the other is a 1600 kgkg sedan going from south to north (the +y+y-direction at 25.0 m/sm/s). Find the xx-component of the net momentum of this system. Express your answer in kilogram meters per second. Find the yy-component of the net momentum of this system.

6.3 PQ1 Newton's second law can be stated that the force is equal to the rate of change of momentum, F = d(mv)/dt. Tak- ing the derivative by parts yields F = m(dv) / (dt) + v(dm) / (dt). This does not correspond to F = ma. What is the source of the discrepancy? %3D
A glider (Glider #1) has a mass of 18.7 gg and is initially moving at a speed of 23.1 cm/s on a horizontal air track. It then strikes a glider (Glider #2) of mass 39.6 g that is initially at rest. If the collision is perfectly elastic, what is the velocity of Glider #1 after the collision? Express the answer in cm/s.Note: Consider the initial direction of Glider #1 as being the direction of positive velocity.

A firework explodes into three pieces as shown in the diagram below. Now that you have set up the equation for the x and y components of the final momentum of the firework, let's do some physics! Given: The initial firework had a mass of 9.0 kg and was launched at vi = 110 m/s vertically straight up. The firework explodes into three pieces of equal mass 3.0 kg. The angles θ1 = θ3 = 20 ∘. Speed v1 = 100 m/s. What is the speed v2? Note: the angles shown for mass m1 and mass m3 are relative to the horizontal x axis. Mass m2 is moving straight up (y axis).
