Two billiard balls are initially traveling toward each other at speeds of 2.30 m/s for ball 1 and 4.45 m/s for ball 2. The balls undergo an elastic, head-on collision. Find their final velocities.
A toy car having mass m = 1.05 kg collides inelastically with a toy train of mass M = 3.95 kg. Before the collision, the toy train is moving in the positive x-direction with a velocity of Vi = 2.35 m/s and the toy car is also moving in the positive x-direction with a velocity of vi = 4.70 m/s. Immediately after the collision, the toy car is observed moving in the positive x-direction with a velocity of 1.95 m/s. (a) Determine Vf, the final velocity of the toy train. (b) Determine the change ΔKE in the total kinetic energy. Assume friction and the rotation of the wheels are not important so that they do not affect ΔKE.
Two ice pucks (one orange and one blue) of equal mass are involved in a perfectly elastic glancing collision as shown in the figures below. The orange puck is initially moving to the right at voi = 4.90 m/s, strikes the initially stationary blue puck, and moves off in a direction that makes an angle of ? = 37.0° with the horizontal axis while the blue puck makes an angle of ? = 53.0° with this axis as in the second figure. Note that for an elastic collision of two equal masses, the separation angle? + ? = 90.0°. Determine the speed of each puck after the collision in meters per second. v0f = ? m/s vbf = ? m/s
A 4.0-kg mass, initially at rest on a horizontal frictionless surface, is struck by a 2.0-kg mass moving along the x axis with a speed of 8.0 m/s. After the collision, the 2.0-kg mass has a speed of 4.0 m/s at an angle of 37° from the positive x axis. What is the speed of the 4.0-kg mass after the collision?
A 10.0-g marble slides to the left with a velocity of magnitude 0.400 m/s on the frictionless, horizontal surface of an icy New York sidewalk and has a head-on, elastic collision with a larger 30.0-g marble sliding to the right with a velocity of magnitude 0.200 m/s. Find the velocity of each marble (magnitude and direction) after the collision. (Since the collision is head-on, all the motion is along a line.) (b) Calculate the change in momentum (that is, the momentum after the collision minus the momentum before the collision) for each marble.
