Figure 1: A massmcollides collides with a mass 2mthat is initially at rest. The velocity magnitudesand directions of the first mass before and after the collision are shown in the figure. 1. Figure 1 shows a collision between two particles. What is the x component of the total momentum before the collision? 2. What is the y component of the total momentum of the system shown in Fig. 1 before the collision?
Figure 1: A massmcollides collides with a mass 2mthat is initially at rest. The velocity magnitudesand directions of the first mass before and after the collision are shown in the figure.
1. Figure 1 shows a collision between two particles. What is the x component of the total momentum before the collision?
2. What is the y component of the total momentum of the system shown in Fig. 1 before the collision?
3. What is the x component of the total momentum of the system shown in Fig. 1 after the collision?
4. What is must be the x component of the final velocity of the larger mass in order for your answer to question 3 to hold?
5. What is the y component of the total momentum of the system shown in Fig. 1 after the collision?
6. What is must be the y component of the final velocity of the larger mass in order for your answer to question 5 to hold?
7. Use your answers to the previous questions to find the magnitude and direction of the final velocity of the larger mass in Fig. 1
8. Is the collision in Fig. 1 collision elastic? Show why or why not.
