Two equal mass objects undergo a perfectly elastic collision. One object is moving with a velocity v and the other is initially at rest. The collision is not head-on (two dimensional). Show that the two objects move away from each other perpendicularly (the velocity vectors of the two objects after the collision make a right angle).
A puck of mass miis moving along a frictionless table at speed viin the +x- direction when it is hit simultaneously by 2lumps of clay, each of mass m2. Both lumps are traveling at a speed of v2when they hit the puck. One is traveling in the -x-direction, while the other one is dropped from above the table in the -y-direction. The puck and lumps of clay stick together. What is the speed of the puck and clay after the collision? Express your answer in terms of mim2v1and v2only. HINT: Write down the initial momentum of the puck m1. In which direction(s) is momentum conserved(i.e. in which direction(s) is there no net external force? Keep in mind that the table can provide an external normal force).Add the momenta of the lump(s) of clay for which momentum is conserved to your initial momentum. At the end of the day, the puck and both lumps of clay stick together so the final momentum is pf=(m1+m2+m2)vf. Set the initial and final momenta equal to each other and solve forvf.

As part of a carnival game, a m, = 0.528 kg ball is thrown at a stack of 24.8 cm tall, m, = 0.383 kg objects and hits with a perfectly horizontal velocity of v,i = 10.3 m/s. Suppose that the ball strikes the topmost object. Immediately after the collision, the ball has a horizontal velocity of vhf = 3.10 m/s in the same direction, the topmost object has an angular velocity of @, = 1.63 rad/s about its center of mass, and all the remaining objects are undisturbed. Assume that the ball is not rotating and that the effect of the torque due to gravity during the collision is negligible.
